Expected outcomes...: If symptoms persist w/ >6 wks of diligent rehab & compliance w/ conservative treatment, a more aggressive treatment, such as surgery, may be required.. This arthroscopic outpatient procedure usually allows for a return to daily living activities within 2-6 wks. A full recovery can be long & arduous, but excellent results are achieved >80%...

It will keep hurting: If you are having pain, you should try rest ice and nsaids. If it still hurts then see a shoulder surgeon to evaluate you. You may require physical therapy or an injection. Ultimately you may need an MRI to evaluate the rotator cuff. Thank you.
