Hi, she had any injury? If it is with out any injury she probably got degenerative tear. If not tired physio , injection and exercise she can try it first. If any of the above not helpful then arthroscopic cuff repair is best option. Consult your shoulder surgeon. By Dr Sivaraman consultant shoulder and elbow surgeon
