If you are near Knoxville, go see Dr. Bill Youmans...He is the University of Tennessee athletics Orthopedic surgeon...
He fixed my rotater cuff just fine...
I need to give my daughter that advice too. She has a torn rotator cuff and is putting off surgery. The doctor I saw is licensed as a podiatry surgeon and has been for 20 years. I don’t know if that’s the same as an orthopedic surgeon or not.
