@kc12858, Welcome to Connect. Those of us who serve as mentors are not medically trained and yet are willing to share any of our experiences which might help others. So, let me see if I can help. In reading your request, I am noting that you are probably talking about the standard exam for rotator cuff injury. Let me check. Hmmmm, my left arm, the one with rotator repair moves more easily up my back on its own and without pain. The arm with the reverse is more challenged by the task and needs help from the repaired arm. The rotator cuff for that arm was so shredded that it just disintegrated. There is very little discomfort. How did your injury occur? Have you had the reverse already? What are your experiences? May you have a restful sleep. Chris
