I tore mine and another tear cant remember the name. also tore some muscles in my upper arm. I kept re injuring it as every time I was startled or bumped something I would jerk my arm and hurt it. I finally got a MRI about 6 months later and got a choice of PT or surgery. surgery would mean no arm use for 2 months then limited for two more. so I took pt and it really did well. still took months and even after I could not lift my arm as high. I did weight lifting and other things I worked out several times a day and now its pretty much normal. Now my wife hurt hers having to use a walker for a few months and pt seems to make it worse. but no matter what its a really slow process.
a hour after I had my accident I opened the fridge the door bumped my leg and it caused me to fling my arm out and it hurt worse then when I had the accident. I did this several more times once I tore another muscle when I jerked my arm after bumping something.
