Torn rotator cuff

Your rotator cuff may tear when you fall on an outstretched hand or collide with something. Rotator cuff tendinitis and tears are common in overhead sports such as baseball, tennis, volleyball and swimming, and also can occur in weight lifting or football.

If you have pain and stiffness, call your doctor.
