Health question.. rotator cuff?

Both of mine are Torn. Had a MRI done about 10 years ago and my right side was 80%. I have lifted paper throughout my career in Printing and it's the same as moving Wood Piles. And Orthopedic doctors all cringe when I tell them my career.

But I elected to not have the surgery on the worst one and went hunting for a Chiropractor who could teach me how to heal my body. And I found one who was big time in sports medicine. No medication and was about 2 months of therapy. He basically re-wired my body to do and act differently along with some insane stretches including crawling up the wall with my fingers like a Spider.

I worked with a guy who had it done years ago. And he never recovered. His ego was too big most of the times to admit things didn't go as planned but I saw it and he retired a year later because he was eligible and he knew the surgery did not give him the fix he needed...

There is a basic test that will pretty much indicate a Rotator Cuff issue. I will see if I can find it on YT and post the link. If you fail it, then what you are concerned about is on point. But if it is exhaust every option before someone cuts on you...
