rototar cuff tear

[steviep]

I received an MRI for my right shoulder 04/11/11.will I need surgery to correct this problem?
I have a intrasubstance partial thickness tear of the distal supraspinatus which is approximately 3mm transverse and in thickness 6 millimeters anteroposterior.

dear friend

i too got a call from doctor today that i have got a left shoulder rotator cuff tear and he said it is minor and may get corrected by itself; suggested me to take muscle relief medications and motrin;also said nto to lift any heavey weights at all;

this pain is killing me to the core. hope you feel better soon.

take care

I have the same thing but I also have a bone spur that is rubbing on it so I have to have surgery. Good luck.
