Rotator cuff tears are most common in people who are over the age of 40. Younger people tend to have rotator cuff tears following acute trauma or repetitive overhead work or sports activity.
Rotator cuff tear may often happen as a result of wear and tear.
It could be many things, for example just lifting something wrong with your shoulder could set it off, also if you didn't catch the injury in the beginning and it was the rotator cuff and you set if off the pain will return. use ice
did you have surgery? because i heard about a medication that was givin to people after shoulder surgery to help the pain but it the long term effects are horrible it distroys the joints makeing your bones rub against each oher causing incredible pain sadly theres no way of fixing the harm done ..hope you feel better
