Can a full thickness rotator cuff tear cause neck pain ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rotator cuff tear: Usually the shoulder pain will cause muscle spasms in the trapezius muscle which is attached to the shoulder, cervical spine and the bottom of the skull and hence the pain may be felt in the neck as well as headaches.
