Should I Be Concerned About Rotator Cuff Tear?

I m a 32 year old woman. I tore my rotator cuff a few months ago and have noticed that the breast on the same side is now smaller. None of my bras fit anymore. Is this due to the injury? Is that possible? It is definitely taking a psychological toll on me.

hi Rotator cuff tear has no effect on the breast size directly so you have to think of some other cause for reduction in the size of breast.It is quite possible that you may have a cervical spine injury with pressure on one of the nerves causing muscle weakness. I suggest you go for MRI Neck and NCV both upper limbs.
