My doctor seems to think I have torn my rotator cuff. Now if this is true, what happens now? Do I have to have surgrey or can I go see a PT to help? What usually happens?

What type of doc are you going to. you need to see a orthopedic surgeon and he will probably order a MRI to see exactly what is going on with the shoulder. hopefully PT will stabilize your shoulder. Tomorrow will be one year since I had cuff surgery and total shoulder clean up. If you can aviod the knife do so.Take care of it..good luck
