What are the symptoms of a rotator cuff tear?
The most common symptoms of a rotator cuff tear include:
- Pain during rest and when lying on the damaged shoulder at night
- Pain when raising and lowering your arm or while moving your arm in specific ways.
- Increased weakness when using your arm, especially when performing lifting and rotating motions with your arm.
- Crackling and popping sound when you move your shoulder (Crepitus).
Some tears are not painful but have such symptoms as weakness and difficulty moving the shoulder.
If you are very active and use your arms for overhead work or sports, your doctor may recommend surgery.
