If you have a rotator cuff tear, it will NOT heal on its own. Dealing with the pain is a recipe for disaster. The best therapy in the world can’t repair a rotator cuff tear.

If it is truly a tear, the only way to keep it from getting worse is surgical repair. I spent decades moving heavy vending machines and eventually tore both rotator cuffs. I had them repaired and with proper therapy, got all my motion back. I can’t throw a ball like I used to, but I don’t need to.

I can do anything I did before the tear and without surgery, I would be a wreck. Living with pain is a personal decision, but it is unnecessary and stupid. Get it fixed and get a good therapist and you won’t be sorry…
