Can Cold And Hot Treatments Help Reverse Frayed Rotator Cuff In An Elderly?

My left arm, only when I lay down to sleep, aches and becomes at times very painful. If I get up and walk a few minutes it gets ok, until I lay down again. A MRI showed a frayed rotater cuff but surgery is not possible. Could I use cold and hot treatments to help reverse this. I am 73 and do still work.
