Torn rotator cuffs dont do much healing. Mine were torn about 23 years ago.. degree of suffering varied thru the years, slowly getting less painful, then, theytd flare up, crunch & pop & hurt.. then I fell, reached & cranked the arm back & tore the heck out of it. The pain was more than I could bear. No way could I wait for 6 months or so for it to get a little better. My R side is torn, BUT,, it doesnt hurt bad enough or hinder me enough to go thru the surgery,, Been There, Done that,, & I will have to be quite a bit more crippled up on that side before Id consider surgery. If you can get thru daily life & not hurt it more, Id say live with it..This is a way unfun recovery. I wear a sling, Can NOT use that arm for much of anything,,, IF anyone is considering this surgery ( elective) as a way to improve the overall quality of life, go hang out at a surgeons office & visit with someone who has been down that road, or PM me & we will swap numbers & you can call me,,
