Hello @james611, welcome to Connect. You may notice I moved your discussion and combined it with an existing discussion titled "Stem cell therapy for rotator cuff tears and arthritis." I did this so you could read through all of the posts members have shared about their experience with your situation. @james611, is your spouse's tear a partial or full? How are they doing with pain and mobility?

Spouse has a complete tear of the supraspinatus with two centimeters of retraction. Been to several Dr.’s in the area, getting mixed advice, not interested in getting surgery. She is 69 yrs. old plays lots of tennis, and golf. I guess my question is, if no surgery, can PRP, and poss. Stem cell relieve pain enough to return to former activity level? Lastly, if surgery were to be done, are better results possible if PRP & Stem cell treatments are part of the treatment?
