How long does it take for a rotator cuff injury to heal?!
Question: How long does it take for a rotator cuff injury to heal.?
My dad works as a roofing supervisor and a few weeks ago, he "fell" down on his right arm, causing it a lot of pain.
He saw the DR earlier this week and was told that it was a torn rotator cuff. Now Dad has to do exercises and take Aleve twice a day.
How long will the rotator cuff on his right arm heal.? He doesn't need surgery or anything but if it doesn't stop hurting in a week, the DR will have to give him a shot of medicine in the right arm.Health Question & Answer
