Surgery is not the LAST resort; it's the FIRST resort. If you have a for real tear, it's never going to get better, it's never going to fix itself, that muscle is not going to stretch itself out and reattach itself. If it's really torn and you wait too long, you can wait so long it can't be fixed.
Then you're crippled for life. If you can live with that, it's your business. I wanted the use of my arm back. Again, the surgery is not that bad.
Get a professional opinion meaning NOT your general practitioner, get an MRI, then take the surgeon's advice.
