Yes. Your rotator cuff holds your shoulder in place. Any tear will cause great pain raising your arm above your head, problems sleeping, etc.
Unfortunately, surgical procedures are usually the only way to fix it.

What is a broad based disc protrusion 2.5 mm in the AP dimension with an annula tear?
2.5mm broad based disc protusion
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
How do you measure postural hypotension drop?
measure blood pressure in supine posture. ask him to stand without removing the cuff measure BP IMMEDIATELY after standing any difference of >20 mm Hg in systoloic bp and >10 mm Hg in diastolic BP is taken as postural hypotension
What is the Ivy method of the bleeding test?
In the Ivy method, a blood pressure cuff is placed on the upper arm and inflated to 40 mM Hg. A lancet or scalpel blade is used to make a stab wound on the underside of the forearm.
What artists did the song mm- mm- mm- mm- mm- mm in the 1960's?
The song "Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm" was released in 1964 by Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders.
Does mega man 10 come right after mega man 9?
No. It is MM 9, MM 9.1, MM 9.2, MM 9.3, MM 9.4, MM 9.5, MM 9.6, MM 9.7, MM 9.8, MM 9.9 then MM 10.
What does 167mm equal to in mm?
167 mm in mm is 167 mm.
Medical workers use a sphygmomanometer to measure?
A digital sphygmomanometer is used to measure blood pressure, just like the manual one. The difference is that the process of making the measurement is done electronically, and the display posts the results.
How do you take a blood pressurer?
Blood pressure is an expression of the strength of arterial circulation in a human or animal. To measure the flow, one uses a pressure meter or 'sphygmomanometer', comprising an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, and a mercury or electronic manometer to measure the pressure.The pressure is stated as two numbers, the highest pressure that blood reaches (pushes past the cuff) and the lowest (the flow is unimpeded and flows without being pushed by the heart contraction). The higher pressure is the systolic (heart pushing), the lower the diastolic. Blood pressure is stated as both of these numbers, e.g. 115/75 spoken "115 over 75" is a systolic pressure of 115 (mm Hg), a diastolic of 75 (mm Hg).*For SI conversion, the mm of mercury, also known as the Torr (for Evangelista Torricelli), is equal to approximately 133.3 Pascals.BP can be measured using palpation in emergency situations. This only gives a rough estimate of systolic pressure. It can be used with the carotid, the femoral, or radial pulse.Normally, manual sphygmomanometers are used in conjunction with a stethoscope to determine the two pressures. You use a BP cuff, pump it up until the pressure in the cuff is 20 mm Hg above the pressure in the artery. Using a stethoscope you can hear when this happens. No sound is heard in the artery.Then the pressure is released and when the pressure is heard again the second reading is made.Another method of measurement is invasive, intra arterial pressure monitoring. This is where an arterial line is inserted into an artery and taped into place, with a bag of pressurised fluid preventing the backflow of blood from the artery (as it is under a lot of pressure in an artery). The line is used to sample arterial blood flow to measure dissolved gases in it and measure arterial blood pressures continuously.
How much longer is 25 mm then 12 mm?
If you have a length of 25 mm and then 12 mm it makes a length of 37 mm.
