Before you resort to surgery, which can have "iffy" results with a difficult rehab, have you tried shock therapy such as EPAT (Extra Corporeal Pulse Activation Technology)? That and specific, vigilantly focused exercises have allowed me to not only walk on flat surfaces, but unaided on stairs and inclines (That's great since I live in the hills).
Good luck and keep me posted!

Hi
I have been doing pt once a week for 9 months and I do it at home daily. It’s strange because some days it feels better and I can walk without a crutch and other days it feels like one leg is longer than the other. I feel as though my pelvis is tilted. I have scoliosis which may contribute as well. My right rotator cuff is torn as well. Do you have a full thickness tear? My mri showed a median tear about 2/3 torn. I never tried the stimulation. I already feel numbness in the glute somedays
