I'm told that everyones body heals at it own pace. Two years ago my husband tore his rotator cuff it took about 6 months for him to stop feeling pain. L-lysine amino acid is great for speeding up the healing process and Bio Freez help with the pain also a cold press to reduce swelling every 2 to three hours.

Rotator cuff tears (tendon tears around the shoulder joint) can repair over time, but depends on a number of factors including, site, size of tear, age of patient, cause of tear. In the elderly population rotator cuff tears are very common but do not bother them. With the correct physio/exercises one can incorporate the rest of the rotator cuff to compensate and so may not need surgical intervention.

No, it wont spontaneously heal itself. It honestly depends on the level of the tear. There are 4 muscles that are called the rotator cuff. It depends on how many are torn or how badly they are torn. There are exercises you can do to help strengthen those muscles and help prevent subluxation. (Your shoulder dislocating) Sometimes surgery is unavoidable.

Rotor cup repair?

Rotator cuff repair generally involves some type of surgery to re-attach the tendon to its anchor spot on the Humerous bone in the shoulder. A complete tear will not heal on its own, so surgery is unavoidable, but these days they can perform arthroscopic surgery which is not as invasive and has a faster healing time that traditional surgery.


What may happen to aligament of the arm if you pull a heavy object too hard?

What happened to my own arm and shoulder was that I suffered a rotator cuff tear in my right shoulder, years ago, which still bothers me when trying to lift heavy objects or if I should twist my arm in some way. I was offered surgery at the time but decided the trauma of surgery was less desirable than coping with the rotator cuff tear. I was wrong. If you should encounter such an accident, by all means have the surgery if you're sufficiently well to undergo it.

Will a tear of the meniscus heal on it's own?

Meniscus do not heal on their own. Vitamin D will not repair it, the only solution is surgery. All surgery does is detach the torn part hanging off to prevent further tearing. One can come back to sports from this injury with proper rehabilitation.


How long is recovery from distal clavical resection?

I had an AC decompression (distal clavicle resection) on 12/12/08. It is now 3/3/09 and I am about 80% better. My pain before the surgery was quite bad and I had been favoring the arm for a long time so my recovery may be longer than some people. Also, I am 47 years old, so younger people might recover better. I have been doing physical therapy twice a week since the surgery. I now have full range of motion and feel fine most of the time. I still have some minor pain when trying to use my arm over my head.

Can a partial acl tear heal on its own?

Partial tears are rare. In theory, they have some healing capacity, but personally, i doubt it. This does NOT mean (reconstructive) surgery is needed though. It also does NOT mean symptoms (such as pain, reduced mobility, swelling, instability...) won't get better. the tear measure 13 mm in the sagittal plane by 16 mm in the coronal plane
