Your doctor will tell you whether or not it is required. A rotator cuff that is damaged to a certain extent will not heal on its own, and will only get worse. I can promise you that the surgery and recovery are a long, arduous process. The first month is the worst, and the physical therapy is tough. In my opinion, my doctor did not prepare for what I was up against in terms of recovery.

Is the tendonitis in your Rotator Cuff? I ask this because Rotator Cuff Tedonitis is also commonly called Shoulder Tendonitis. Pain can be even more extreme when you sleep on the shoulder.

I get pain in my left shoulder when I do any overhead lifting and it is more difficult to raise and lower my left arm and shakier. Physical therapy did not help me. Will my rotator cuff tear heal on its own or do I require surgery to be able to return back to overhead lifting? Thank you.

I have been advised to have an operation (arthroscopic) to the tendons of my rigth shoulder. The procedure is to repair the rotator cuff tendon and the biceps tendon. This could be due to an old injury as I was analyzed some years back with a frozen shoulder. Recently the pain and disconfort on my rigth shoulder was accelerated by exercising at the gym. I have now rested for 6months and the pain has gone away but I have lost some power in my right shoulder.

Remember, the rotator cuff is make up of 4 different parts, so you can tear or injure one and still have range of motion with minimal loss. However, when just one is damaged or torn it can be very painful(especially, when that move is tied to the particular damaged part of the cuff...such as picking something up with a bend in your elbow..), and the pain can radiate down the arm. You may also have some arthritis built up in the A.C.
