Rotator cuff tear

I have had rotator cuff problems on and off for years. Looking back I suspect one shoulder started when I was 29, as a result of a lot of manual digging and using the spade to cut through bricks in the ground. The madness of youth. Next significant time was one then the other shoulders in a close space of time 26 years later. Physio did help a lot, diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound. Main reason was thought to be plain old degenerative change, and advised that in my age group surgical repair of my torn supraspinatus tendons might not be successful. I can still climb with no problems, but have recently given up all hedge work involving long reach tools. I certainly agree with the comment of not wanting to have surgery without a scan (MRI or Ultrasound, depending on the suspected diagnosis) to check the diagnosis.
