        I had rotator cuff surgery 5 months ago and I am still going to physical therapy. I have a lot of soreness and I have to ice and rest my shoulder  during the day.  I am told that it takes about 6 months of intense physical therapy after the surgery.

        I have the same thing.  It does not heal.  If it's torn you have to have surgery.

        It all depends...I had minor tears in my left one, and 3 surgeries later (1-17-05) i'm still trying to heal...It also trashed my bursa...I know have plugs in my shoulder, which means no more MRI's. What my Doc told me was, depends on the age of the patient. I was 52 at the time...3 months without surgery, longer of course for some one your age. So long as you don't smoke...
