Patient Comments: Rotator Cuff - Cause

Was the cause of your rotator cuff disease due to repetitive strains? Please share your experience.

Comment from: medicbutch, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: September 17

I can't pinpoint a recent cause. The shoulder freezes, the arm gets weak throughout the day and it is very painful to lift my arm, especially if my hand is facing supine.
