A member asked:
If you have rotator cuff tear, are you likely to get shoulder pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shoulder pain: Rotator cuff tears are most often painful at the lateral shoulder area, but occasionally we find a complete tear which, while painless, prevents normal lifting and rotation of the arm. If i were betting, i would go for pain.
