Will surgery stop the pain of rotator cuff tear. ?

Yes: Yes, if the surgery is successful, repair of a rotator cuff tear can cause a dramatic reduction in pain and improvement in function. I would discuss the specifics of your case with your surgeon before deciding to proceed; but in general it is a very successful surgery in the right candidate.
