On an unknown date, the patient experienced ROTATOR CUFF SYNDROME (he had a torn rotator cuff described as a small full tear/ It is painful/His pain level now is a 9 out of 10), VACCINATION SITE REACTION (He mentioned a second time having COVID shoulder) and ARTHRALGIA (he has continuous pain in his left shoulder). The patient was treated with DICLOFENAC (oral) for Rotator cuff tear, at a dose of UNK, bid; DICLOFENAC (VOLTAREN [DICLOFENAC]) (topical) for Rotator cuff tear, at a dose of UNK, qid and Physical therapy (he started physical therapy and is still doing it at home) for Rotator cuff syndrome. At the time of the report, ROTATOR CUFF SYNDROME (he had a torn rotator cuff described as a small full tear/ It is painful/His pain level now is a 9 out of 10) and ARTHRALGIA (he has continuous pain in his left shoulder) had not resolved and VACCINATION SITE REACTION (He mentioned a second time having COVID shoulder) outcome was unknown.      DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): In July 2021, Magnetic resonance imaging: abnormal (abnormal) They did an MRI and it was verified that he had a torn rotator cuff described as a small full tear.     For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular), the reporter did not provide any causality assessments.   In concomitant medications, spectrum multivitamin men's health was also reported. Patient reported that he thought he had arthritis so he went to the doctor on 09-Jul-2021. The patient was diagnosed with torn rotator cuff. The doctor did not think it happened from the Moderna COVID-19 vaccination but he was unsure if the vaccine brought the pain to the forefront. The patient went to the orthopedic place. The patient stated that he does not know if he got the shot too high up but it did not bother him until after the COVID-19 vaccination. The doctor told the patient that Surgery might be an option.
