Hi Gloria. I had 2 surgeries in February, and I have a rotator cuff tear in my right shoulder. I don't know about the left, I have no pain there as of yet. I see the doctor next Monday to find out what my options are. From my research, they will do injections, PT and then surgery. For a tear, I think the only thing that truly helps is surgery. But, based on my last experience under the big lights, I'll wait until my arm is about to fall off LOL. Could it be that they move us around like sides of beef? Ai yi yi....
