What Is The Reason Behind Upper Underarm Muscle Pain?
I have a recent but persistent dull pain in my upper underarm muscle. Had previous rotator cuff repair and MRI done about a year ago indicated something - forget terminology - perhaps about a ligament which was in process of tearing. Specialist did not wish to operate until it fully tore/detached. How do I tell if that's what this pain relates to?

Hi
Partial tears are left to heal by scar tissue..but if healing is deficient still, your surgeon may review for repair seeing persistent pain, weakness.
