Suggest Treatment For Tear In Supraspinatus Tendon
My M.R.I. results of left shoulder show a large rim rent tear of the supraspinatus tendon at its insertion . Almost the full width of the tendon is involved. Will exercises strengthen the surrounding muscles? I have pain when arm is in certain positions. Am even noticing it when hands are on steering wheel. Want to avoid surgery as I am still recovering from thumb surgery severing my extensor tendon slicing watermelon. Recovery slow due to additional problems. Surgeon feels it may be a repeat of R.S.D. when I had bunion surgery. Don t want that to happen if I have rotator cuff surgery. Thanks for your help! My e-mail address is YYYY@YYYY

Dear,
We all face problems, and we know solutions stem from the fact of facing them, you have a bad tear, and I would advise you to get arthoscopic repair done if possible, as this will reduce the rehabilitation time.
I can understand how difficult it could be, with cut extensor of the thumb as I myself is an Hand Surgeon.
