I keep getting the pain down the outside and inside of upper arm and a popping sound he did an injection yesterday hasn’t improved much

Have had two torn rotator cuffs since around 2018.Saw a surgeon who didn't want to operate due to my other illnesses.

Have had many guided injections by him and local GP practice.

Cannot lift arms or reach out far to pick up things like a cup of tea.

I'm learning to live with them now.

Cannot sleep on shoulders without pain.

My partner tore her cuff ages 73. She had an operation to repair it. It is perfect now. Try going private if you can, she was insured
