Question

Torn rotator cuff

Asked for Male, 24 Years

Hey guys, I've been working out regularly for more than a year. 2-3 days ago while lifting weight i somehow injured my shoulder. I went to doc after that. Doctor said it's not very serious because I was aware and I went early on. My question is, is this sort of damage something permanent or a minor injury?
