Repoman0 has a question about exercise for shoulder dislocation but this is about tears to the cuff which I believe are very common.
Have you had, (or have you ever met someone who underwent) a completely successful surgical repair for a torn cuff tendon or muscle?
I have a minor tear which is not responding to physiotherapy. People have suggested cortisone injections, a change of therapist and surgery. My doctor claims that surgery has a long recovery time and high failure rates. My physiotherapist disagrees.
Can anyone advise, please.
