Rotator Cuff Tears and Shoulder Pain at Night

Shoulder pain at night is common and potentially debilitating problem. For some of you, the pain is sharp when you change your sleeping position. For others, you will complain of a constant dull ache that doesn’t seem to go away.  Sleeping with your arm under your head can be very challenging if you have shoulder pain at night. Most of you eventually find that sleeping on your back, or even in a recliner is the only way to get some sleep.

This post will explore the most common causes and some potential remedies for easing your night pain.
If you have shoulder pain at night, you know how disruptive it can be! Inflammation within your shoulder and usually in the region of the rotator cuff muscles is a leading cause of night pain. The specific structure that’s involved is called the subacromial bursa, a fluid-filled sac overlying the rotator cuff.

What is the cause? 

For people with occupations or hobbies that require repetitive or overhead movements, such as carpenters, travelers put luggage overhead, painting, tennis, or baseball. The most common causes of shoulder pain is rotator cuff tendinitis — inflammation of key tendons in the shoulder.

Rotator cuff injuries and how massage can help heal?

Massage therapy technique. The effectiveness of massage therapy comes from the pressure and movements used to manipulate the soft tissue of the body. Using specific motions and specific points, a massage therapist target individual muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. A massage therapist manually adjusts the soft tissue of the body so that everything is working in harmony and blood is circulating well.

Research shows massage can help with shoulder pain, especially in conjunction with physical therapy. So if you’re already recovering from your injury, getting a massage can help you to feel better while you regain your range of motion and strength.

Can rotator heal by itself with out any treatment?

If left untreated, a rotator cuff tear can severely restrict function and range of motion. The tears can also increase over time. This may cause partial rotator cuff tears to progress to total tears.

How long it takes to heal?

Usually, a rotator cuff can heal in 2 to 4 weeks. But if your tendinitis severe, it could takes months. If the pain  is getting in the way of your daily life or you injure yourself again, your doctor might suggest: Steroids.
