https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Have-you-had-rotator-cuff-surgery/m-p/261966#M114787 <P>I had an MRI a year ago and my orthopedic surgeon said he can see several partial tears in my rotator cuff and I am an excellent candidate for surgery. He also said the radiologist ( who he and every doctor I know, including my husband, says is the best) thinks she may see a complete tear. Anyway, I have been trying to manage this with cortisone shots and PT but the last shot has not helped and I am thinking about surgery. I have heard that the recovery is long and painful and wondered what your experiences were. I don't know anyone who has had the surgery but thought someone on here might have. Thanks so much!</P> Fri, 19 Oct 2012 19:24:01 GMT Baylie 2012-10-19T19:24:01Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Have-you-had-rotator-cuff-surgery/m-p/261966#M114787 <P>I had an MRI a year ago and my orthopedic surgeon said he can see several partial tears in my rotator cuff and I am an excellent candidate for surgery.
