[quote=Anonymous]Torn rotator cuffs do not heal on their own. While it's an option to go without surgery, you will never regain that motion. Additionally, it needs to be taken care of within a few months of the injury or the muscles will atrophy and even surgery won't help you. I had a major shoulder injury (caused by a fall) that resulted in a SLAP tear (cartilage) and a minor rotator cuff tear. My orthopedist started me on physical therapy that got my motion back to about 90%. He said it would take surgery to get me to 100% and we both agreed that 90% was good enough. He also noted that by the time we're in our 50s (I'm 55) that our rotator cuffs are starting to feel the wear and tear anyway so you might just have to admit that you don't have young shoulders anymore. Is benching 200 lbs. truly a life goal for you? [/quote]
