I've been dealing with left shoulder pain for two years now, and it's really limiting my movements some motions cause intense pain. My BP is under control, but the MRI showed issues in my left shoulder. One doctor suggested rotator cuff repair surgery, but I'm unsure if that's the best option. What would you recommend for long-term relief, and what should I expect if I go through with the surgery?

Chronic shoulder pain with MRI findings often benefits from rotator cuff repair—physiotherapy first, then surgery if no relief; recovery takes weeks.

View allIt's been four months since my fracture and I'm still using a walker. The x-ray shows a separate bone fragment will this heal on its own or will I need surgery to fix it?
Whether a separate bone fragment will heal on its own or require surgery depends on several factors, including the size of the fragment, its location, and whether it's causing any pain, functional limitations, or damage to nearby tissues. If it's been four months since the fracture and the fragment hasn't healed, it's possible that it's a non-union fracture, meaning the bone pieces haven't joined together. In these cases, surgery might be necessary to try to promote healing or remove the fragment.
