rotator cuff pain

[jessicarabitt]

I was told I have a rotator cuff in the process of tearing and the pain would be less if it was already torn....having cortisone shots every 3 to 4 mos...been to PT very little results....anyone know if laser therapy works? Any other suggestions? Also told arhtroscopic surgery would not help due to severe arthritis.

I'm so sorry for the pain you are experiencing . I too had a tear and was fortunate enough to have it repaired and now pain free. I would suggest to you to get a second opinion from a different orthopedic doc and see what he says.
