Does the shaved bone grow back? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The most common causes of shoulder pain are from injuries to the rotator cuff. Most people have heard of sudden rotator cuff injuries in athletes during a competitive event. Manual laborers, people who work with their arms overhead, swimmers, or people playing racquet sports are more likely to get chronic rotator cuff injuries. The rotator cuff muscle can be torn when the muscle is stretched beyond its ability. Sudden rotator cuff muscle tears need to be seen by a doctor immediately for proper management. Ice packs can give some pain relief initially and later, heat packs can help relax the muscles and reduce pain.
