Are you sure it isn't cardiac related? Chest pain can be referred to the left shoulder. If that isn't the case and you think it is rotator cuff related, call your doctor and ask for a referral to a good physical therapist. Sometimes they can help.

Try PT and good luck. You know you need rotator cuff surgery when the pain keeps you awake at night.

It's a very easy surgery, I've had both shoulders done. Recovery is quick. Thought i was going to be a pro bull rider about 30 yrs ago.

10. I've had several surgery's on my shoulders. |
|
Rotators were the least painful and the quickest recovery time. I've separated my right bicep twice, those are the most painful. Takes about 6 months to a year to fully recover. Rotators, i went to work in a week.

9. Take it seriously and get it checked |
|
My father didn't and when he finally had to go in for surgery, there was nothing they could do for him. The surgeon's exact words were: "there's nothing there but mush".
He sure regrets not having that pain in his shoulder checked out sooner.
