[QUOTE="Wag482, post: 3100324, member: 129685"] Before they decide if you need surgery, they will probably want to get an MRI to see what degree of injury there is. There are a couple of tests that will indicate a rotator cuff injury but they will need an MRI to fully diagnose. I am on week 6 after having surgery. I had a complete tear that was repaired arthroscopically. The first week was fairly rough but it has been more annoying that anything else. Sleeping sucks and the shoulder sling is a PITA. I have almost zero range of motion in my repaired shoulder, currently. I will start on PT in the next week or so. Doc said 6 mos. of ROM PT, then strengthening. You can probably forget about shooting a bow for a year following surgery. But, in my case, there was no way I could raise a bow before surgery so that didn't really factor in to my thinking. EDIT: I will add that I did not see a PT first. I went straight to the ortho. When I tore mine, I felt it tear/rip in no uncertain terms. I am pretty sure that I had some degree of a partial tear beforehand as I was have a some pain and decreased mobility. I was doing a bench press and tore the rest of it off. [/QUOTE]
