Brief Answer:
Tear or tendinitis? Please post MRI report

Detailed Answer:.

Hi,

Usually this procedure is done for Rotator cuff tendinitis or partial tariff Supraspinatus.

Please do post your MRI report for clarity.

If you have tear then it will take you 6-10 months or more after recovery to lift weights.

If only tendinitis then you can lift weights within 6 months of physiotherapy.

I hope I have answered your query.
