Shoulder Weakness
A tear or damage to the rotator could change the mechanics of this group of joints and muscles. As a result, you would feel weakness in the shoulder. It can be more difficult to lift up the arm overhead and do other activities involving this part, such as carrying objects, getting dressed, or reaching items from a high position. Many people often mistake between usual weakness and this symptom of a rotator cuff injury. In general, when you have weakness due to physical activities, you can still perform daily tasks. But when a tear or damage occurs, the muscle simply cannot work properly. [3]
