A member asked:
Can torn rotator cuff cause inside (closest to body) elbow pain in addition to shoulder pain? if so what is treatment?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
RC tear: No a rotator cuff tear will not cause elbow pain. Overcompensation and using "other" muscles to make up for lost motion in the shoulder could certainly cause elbow pain.

Maybe but: Tron rotator cuff can cause pain in the shoulder and it can radiate to the arm , but the inside of the elbow could be a tendinitis at the medial epicondyle of the elbow. Prolotherapy is excellent for this. Find a prolotherapist ar www.Getprolo.Com or www.Aaomed.Org. And get the right help for your problems.
