What is a rotator cuff injury? I'd ask Tom, but it would hurt him too
much
to tell
me!

Usually it's a very painful and disabling injury to the ball and socket
gadgets in your shoulder, often a tear or rip in the ligaments that hold
everything together. I suspect Tom's case may be complicated by other
issues as well.

I fell down a flight of stairs years ago and somehow screwed up the
rotator
cuff in my right shoulder. I opted for no surgery, letting nature take
it's
course and it took over a year before I could toss a baseball, even
underhand with the right arm.

Ouch! Thanks for the info. For some reason I was thinking 'wrist'. I
guess, if I
wasn't so lazy, I could have looked it up, but thanks anyway.

Here you go lazybones. ;-)

Eisboch's response was spot on.
