The most common symptoms of a rotator cuff tear are pain and weakness. The pain from a rotator cuff tear is usually felt over the outside of the shoulder. It is typically worse with overhead activity. Night pain, even severe enough to wake you from sleep, is common with rotator cuff tears.
No, rotator cuff tears cannot heal themselves, but not all tears require surgery. Now let us be more specific. When Surgery May Be Recommended If a young person suffers a tear and has acute pain that does not improve with medication and other treatments, surgery may be recommended to repair the cuff.
The healing time for a rotator cuff tear without surgery depends largely on the cause of the tear. If it’s the result of a traumatic injury, the tear can heal in as little as 3 weeks. However, if it’s the result of years of overhead movements that have been wearing down the tendon, the outlook is not so great.

A rotator cuff tear is a rip in the group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize your shoulder joint and let you lift and rotate your arms (your rotator cuff). It's also called a complete tear or a full-thickness tear.
The names of these muscle-tendon components of the rotator cuff are: the supraspinatus which runs over the top of the ball of the shoulder joint (humeral head); the subscapularis which runs across the front of the humeral head; and. the infraspinatus and the teres minor which run across the back of the humeral head.

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder joint in place and allow you to move your arm and shoulder. Problems occur when part of the rotator cuff becomes irritated or damaged.
A doctor might request one of several imaging tests to diagnosis your torn rotator's cuff such as an x-ray, ultrasound, or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). X-rays won't show a torn rotator cuff but can rule out other causes of pain, such as bone spurs.
Signs of a rotator cuff tear include:Difficulty and pain caused by raising your arm.Popping or clicking sounds or sensations when moving your arm.Shoulder pain that worsens at night or when resting your arm.Shoulder weakness and struggling to lift items.
Supraspinatus tear can be caused by lifting something too heavy, falling on your arm, or dislocating your shoulder. However, host cases are the result of the tendon wearing down over time, which is known as a degenerative tear.
The supraspinatus tendon is located on the back of your shoulder and helps your arm to move throughout its full range of motion – and helps with power and strength.

Partial tears: Also called incomplete tears, the damage experienced by the tendon does not sever it completely. Complete tears: More commonly referred to as a full-thickness tear, this injury entirely separates the tendon from the bone.
The subscapularis muscle is one of the four muscles that arise from the shoulder blade and attach to the humeral head. The tendons of these four muscles make up the rotator cuff. The subscapularis muscle comes off the front of the shoulder blade and helps you reach behind your back.
