Inability to Achieve Full Range of Shoulder Motion
You may also experience trouble moving the shoulder around. The ability to move the shoulder in full range may also be very difficult. Due to these movements or activities with the shoulder would be restricted, and attempting to use the shoulder may cause a lot of pain. Similarly, there may be some difficulty sleeping or resting on the shoulder that is affected. Any form of pressure on the shoulder may cause a lot of pain.
Trouble Sleeping
Another symptom of a rotator cuff tear is the inability to sleep, due to an increase in pain in the affected shoulder at night. In some cases, the pain may not be extreme to the extent that it affects your sleep, but in other instances, it may get extreme and you may experience difficulty sleeping or even resting.
