How To Treat Severe Pain In Left Shoulder Due To Muscle Tear?

I just received a copy of an mri of me,left shoulder that has been causing me much, much pain. It said a nearly complete tear and a few others but I don t know what it all means. I took pics of the report and would love to share them to get an idea of what s happening. I need a surgery consult that I hope will happen next week. I don t know how long I can put up with this pain.
