Hello,

Are you duabetic?? hypertensive?? since when you're suffering from this condition? initial treatment of a rotator cuff injury begins with rest, ice, and physical therapy to strengthen the muscles of the rotator cuff and to re-establish full range of motion of the shoulder. It may take weeks or longer to reach satisfactory healing.

Steroid injections to decrease inflammation in the tight spaces where the muscle tendons run across the shoulder joint, therapeutic ultrasound, shockwave therapy, dry needling and shoulder sling etc.Still symptoms not improved may need to undergo surgery.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
