How Can A Rotator Cuff Injury Be Treated?
I was struck by car on bike in early September 2016. ER said likely rotator cuff tear. I went to PT for 2 months, with some improvement, but not much. Holiday season, meant PT therapy declined. Now I have difficulty doing regular routine things, such as brushing hair, carrying anything, etc.

Hello,
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. In severe cases, arthroscopic correction might be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
