Hello all, i was diagnosed with a full tear of my R rotator cuff supraspinatus. It happened almsot 8 months ago. Since then i have been doing PT and i am able to lift my arm over head and i also have been playing again sports (Volleyball and Basketball) Even though i am just over 60 i am rather active in sports. The surgeon suggested to do surgery and he believes that, considering my current fitness status, it would take some 4 months to get back to 80% of my current state. (he also said that iseally these surgeries are better done right after the injury at the time when i couldn't lift the arm). My dilemma is weather i should just carry on doing PT and keep playing sports rather than take the gamble (surgery would set me back and it cannot be guaranteed that i will be any stronger than now on that arm). Any suggestion by anyone who skipped surgery is most welcome.
