I will need it but am putting it off. Swimming aggravates it if doing more then about 2000 yards a day. Cycling also aggregates it. No hope and I'm just tolerating the mild to moderate discomfort.

Mostly as I've already had 2 surgeries for bone spurs/impingement plus a torn bicep tendon (which didn't need fixing or cutting). These are technically not Rotator Cuff problems, which is, if I recall, the collection of muscles, tendons and ligaments on the top of the shoulder.

Rehab is essential and time consuming, but will get you back and about. Putting weight on the arms (such as cycling) as well as absorbing shock, can aggravate the issue. Thus the reason they say no cycling for a bit.

Which is why I always schedule my surgeries for the late fall so I'm off the bike at that point. Pain dependent.
