Your rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that hold your shoulder in place and let you lift and rotate your arm. They can get torn or worn out from too much overhead work, sports, or just getting older.
Symptoms may vary depending on the location and severity of the condition:
Stiffness and inability to reach behind the back or overhead.
Audible or painful catching sensations during movement.
Difficulty raising the arm overhead or lifting objects away from the body.
Aching or sharp pain in the shoulder that wakes you when lying on the affected side.
