What Are The Symptoms Of Torn Rotator Cuff?

I have severe pain in my right Tricep. The last time I had pain like this I had a torn Rotator Cup. It had been repaired about 9 years ago I was involved in a severe industrial accident where I had multiple fractures and 2nd + 3rd degree burns. I had an MRI done on it a few years ago. Could the Ratator tear again without any sort of trama?

Hi,

as mentioned by you that you have a severe pain in your triceps, there could be two possibilities after reading your history, either it will be a disc degenerative changes in the cervical spine or either it is Rotator cuff injury.

Also to understand is undergoing an MRI of both the regions will help assist further the extent of the soft tissue injury.

With the help of medication and physical therapy the pain can be taken into control. Also, exercises will be an add on benefit in the process to avoid any future complains of the aches. Once the joint is injured or damaged the near by areas are more prone to get soft tissue damage. For which one has to be very conscious in diagnosing as well as exercising.

Usually 99% of both cases i have seen today have recovered without much hassle. I wish the same from you.
