Condition
Rotator Cuff Tears
A rotator cuff tear is a common shoulder injury to the muscles and tendons around the shoulder joint, causing pain and limiting shoulder use. Causes include aging, injury or trauma, and repetitive overhead movements. For minor tears, rest and physical therapy exercises help strengthen the shoulder muscles and improve range of motion.
What it can feel like
- Sharp or dull shoulder pain, especially when lifting or reaching
- Weakness lifting or moving the arm overhead
- Limited range of motion
