Do you feel sharp shoulder pain when lifting your arm, combing your hair, or reaching behind your back?
Many patients describe a dull ache at rest and a sudden pinch while doing daily tasks. These symptoms often point to a rotator cuff tear — a common cause of shoulder pain, especially after a fall, sudden jerk, or repetitive overhead work.
When the rotator cuff is injured, the shoulder loses smooth movement. Simple activities like wearing clothes, lifting groceries, or sleeping on one side become difficult. Over time, the pain may increase, and weakness can affect your ability to work or exercise.
As an Arthroscopy & Shoulder Specialist, Dr. Ganesh Shirsath frequently treats patients who struggle with these symptoms.
If pain persists despite rest and medication, it may be time to evaluate the shoulder with clinical tests and imaging.
Common Symptoms of Rotator Cuff Tear
- Sharp pain when lifting or rotating the arm
- Dull ache in the shoulder at rest
- Difficulty combing hair or reaching behind the back
- Weakness while lifting or carrying objects
- Pain while sleeping on the affected side
Shoulder Arthroscopy — Modern Keyhole Treatment
For many patients, the most effective treatment is shoulder arthroscopy, a minimally invasive keyhole procedure.
Through tiny cuts, a camera is inserted to repair the torn rotator cuff, clean inflammation, and restore smooth shoulder movement.
There is less pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
Most patients regain strength and mobility much sooner and return to daily life with confidence.
Arthroscopic repair helps preserve your natural shoulder joint, prevent long-term damage, and restore pain-free movement.
