Brief Answer: Given sufficient time, rotator cuff tears heal Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for writing your query After going through your suffering, it usually takes few weeks to months depending upon the severity of injury to heal. So, my advice would be give sufficient time for rotator cuff injury to heal, Ice you shoulder two to three times away to reduce pain and swelling To promote healing you may keep the arm away from the body supported by aeroplane splint and take drugs like Trypsin/chymotrysin along with pain killer like Ibuprofen. These medicines along with tablet tendocare may be taken under medical guidance. But whatever you do, do not be in hurry. Do not resume the sport activity until - You feel no pain in your shoulder and it feels as the the uninjured one. You have almost normal range of motion and can sleep on the shoulder. You can function as well as before the injury If you start using your shoulder before it's healed, you could cause permanent damage. Take care and wish you good health I shall be glad to answer any further query. Dr.chugh, Orthopaedic surgeon
