Wondering if anyone here has had a rotator cuff repair? If so, what was your experience?
Pain in my shoulder occurred during exercise several months ago, somehow injured it. Using heat, ice, etc. for the past 3-4 months to no avail. Went to doc--possible rotator cuff tear! Trying intensive PT first, then MRI. If no tear, then he will do a cortisone shot and I will continue PT. If there is a tear, probable surgery. The problem with the physical therapy is that it is really aggravating the pain in my arm, back and shoulder making it even more difficult to find a comfortable position to sleep at night.
I have had surgery on both shoulders already due to impingement problem. Not looking forward to another surgery in the shoulder, but don't like the ongoing pain.
