Small tears, strains, or imingement of the rotator cuff may present itself as pain when the arm is positioned in a way that puts strain on the torn part of the rotator cuff. Usually this is at a level where the arm has been raised parallel to the floor with the arm at a 45 degree angle from the front of the body, sometimes with the thumb pointed towards the floor. The pain can be intermittent or constant if freshly injured. It is often painful to sleep on the affected side and the pain may radiate to the deltoid area. Pain can occur with attempting to raise the arm overhead or reach behind the back.
A large or massive tear (usually of the supraspinatus tendon) will usually present itself at the inability to raise the arm overhead without assistance and a signiciant alternation in the mechanics of the shoulder. Researchers have estimated 90% of people with massive tears will be unable to regain overhead use of the shoulder without surgical correction. Small to moderate tears, may become without symptoms with conservative care.

Pain around the shoulder. Try this test-have someone lift your arms up to your shoulder level. Then ask him to let your arm go. If you cannot hold your arm up or follow the arc when it was lifted due to pain around the shoulder, then you have rotator cuff tear probably.
