Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Surgery is not necessary for partial thickness tear. With proper conservative therapy partial rotator cuff tear and tendinopathy will a good prognosis.

Meloxicam and tramadol will be helpful for pain relief. You should also get a consultation with physitherapist. He/she will give you massage therapy and guide you to do specific exercises for strengthening rotator cuff. With a 12 week of physiotherapy and exercises you may get relief.
If there is no improvement or worsening then you can consider surgical management.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
