Rotator cuff injuries or tears are quite common. They can be quite painful and limiting. You need to see a qualified Orthopaedic surgeon with shoulder experience. A thorough examination and an MRI, if you do not have one, will provide the diagnosis. A surgeon can then educate you on treatment options including physical therapy, injections, or surgery.
