My MRI shows a complete tear of the supraspinatus tendon at its insertion with 0.8cm retraction. I'm a 45-year-old woman can this heal with physiotherapy or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about recovery and what's best for my shoulder.

View allI fell off my bike two months ago and have been dealing with sacroiliac pain since then is it possible to heal this completely without needing surgery or will I have to consider going under the knife?
A traumatic event such as a car accident, fall, or a sudden twisting motion can lead to SI joint pain. Like other injuries to the body, this may heal on its own over time. However, if the pain persists for longer than three months, then it may be time to seek treatment.
