Torn Rotator Cuff Non-CMT related or is it?

February 14, 2001

I saw my Dr. yesterday for shoulder/arm pains I have been having. I

have a torn Rotator cuff. He thinks I did it due to my constantly having to

pull/lift my self up. He said due to the fact I have no muscles hardly at all

left in the shoulder area, surgery won't help, theres nothing to attach to.

Torn rotator cuffs is common. But due to my having CMT and the muscle loss I

have due to it, I think my chances of having this happen doubled or tripled! So

I would say this is one of those types of things where its related to CMT in a

sense, ~>Becky M.
