My brother called me yesterday and he told me that he has rotator cuff injury. I got really worried. Is this serious? Honestly, I am not even sure what the rotator cuff is, muscle or bone?
The rotator cuff is the name for the tendons that surround the shoulderjoint and it helps in allowing the shoulder to function as the most unique joint in the body. The shoulder joint can move and turn through a wider range than any other joint in the body, in part due to the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff injury is not an uncommon problem. These injuries make many routine activities difficult and painful. The rotator cuff is part of this mechanism that when is injured can be a difficult and frustrating problem.
