I tore my rotator cuff about a year ago and ??'ss?
Did you have an MRI? That is the only way to truly diagnois a torn rotator cuff. If you didn't have one, you need to see your primary care doctor and ask him to order one, and refer you to an orthopaedic surgeon if you don't have one already. Most rotator cuff repairs are done arthroscopically with mini open incisions instead of larger incisions now. You will be down for about 3 to 4 weeks and then have physical therapy for another 4 to 8 weeks. As far as the popping and cracking go, you probably need to have regualar xrays to tell if you have some post traumatic arthritis or even impingement going on .
Reply:have you tired going for Chiropractic care? I went to a Chiropractor after a rotator injury and it helped
Reply:Torn rotator cuffs do NOT heal themselves. They usually don't pop and crack either. I had the left side repaired and they found and repaired cartilage tears at the same time. Right now I have the same problem in my right shoulder plus a seperation from torn ligaments. The orthopedist said the cracking and popping was from the torn cartilage getting down in the joint and popping when it was forced out by arm movement. I would suggest you get a second opinion, with a current MRI, from a good orthopedist.
Reply:I know several people who had surgery after a torn rotator cuff. Ask your doctor to send you to a specialist and see what they say. I don't think it should be popping but I'm not a doctor.
Be persistent till you find an answer.
