What happens if you keep irritating your sore rotator cuff?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Rotator Cuff`: If you have inflammation of your rotator cuff and it continues to cause pain it may eventually tear. I have found that most rotator cuff tears occur in patients over age 50 and it usually is preceeded by a period of pain until the tendon fully tears. Patients will then have weakness raising their arm to the side and unable to sleep on that shoulder at night.

Diagnosis?: First, we have to determine why you are having shoulder pain. A strain and sprain is different than a rotator cuff tear. Most studies find that inflammation is not a big component of rotator cuff pathology in the chronic setting. Learn more here: http://theshouldercenter.Com/rotator-cuff-tear.Htm.
