VerifiedCommon questions
How long is recovery after rotator cuff surgery?
Most people wear a sling for four to six weeks and return to light daily activities within a couple of months. Full strength commonly takes four to six months or longer, depending on tear size.
Do all rotator cuff tears need surgery?
No. Many tears, especially partial tears, improve with physical therapy, activity changes, and sometimes injections. Surgery is typically considered for full tears in active people or when non-surgical care has not helped.
How painful is recovery?
Discomfort is common in the early weeks and is typically managed with a nerve block at surgery, medication, ice, and proper sling use. Pain generally improves steadily as the repair heals; tell your care team if it does not.
