Unfortunately my MRI results show a MASSIVE ROTATOR CUFF TEAR which includes supraspinatus and infraspinatus which is not repairable. Anyone else out there still swimming without a rotator cuff in one shoulder? Or should I go for a reconstruction using part of my pec or lat or thigh tendon. I am 65 and devastated.
I am so sorry to hear that. Have you gotten a second opinion. Rotator cuff tears are evidently common in swimming(I am still in a sling typing this one handed from my rotator cuff surgery) but I haven't known anyone with a massive tear. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
