[|Human|] can severe pain and mild swelling with warmth central located in the most tender spot, be torn rotator cuff. and exhibit serious pain 8 months after a serious fall which resulted in a broken shoulder on opposite side. I have unexplained pain 10+ scale. Regular xray yesterday showed no fractures, no arthritis. Can you get a rotator cuff tear and have no symptoms and then with out additional injury or unusually use begin exhibiting pain as severe as the broken extremity from last Halloween
[|AI|]  healthier is difference in rotator cuff tear and supraspinatus tendinitis, whereas in former the movement of shoulder is impaired especially abduction and rotation while lifting arm sideways, in tendinitis there is pain and movements may be painful and not restricted as such, an MRI may distinguish the two. So consult a shoulder surgeon or orthopedic surgeon. In your case, it may be tendinitis. Take Advil thrice a day after meals for 7 days and do hot fomentation, rest arm in a broad arm sling for 10 days., it may help but if not go to orthopedic doctor for investigation. Also apply anti-inflammatory gel like voltarenthanks
