Any Doctors Please? Injured Rotator Cuff.?

I separated my a/c joint in my shoulder last saturday. This morning I went to the ER for severe shoulder pain and they said my a/c is fine and he thinks I have an injured rotator cuff now. He prescribed me darvocet and soma and told me to keep taking vicodin. I woke up to go into work (I work overnights) and I was in severe pain. I took another Darvocet, Soma, and Vicodin. 30 minutes pass and Im still in horrible pain. I cried the whole way to work and when I got there they sent me home to rest. I took another darvocet and Im still in a lot of pain. My discharge papers say go back to the ER if I get worse or am in severe pain. My question is if I go back is there anything they can do for me besides a pain injection? Im in a sling but is there a cast or splint they could use for my shoulder? Also is there a stronger pain medication I can take until I see an orthopedic surgeon? Thank you.

Rotator Cuff Injured?

My rotator cuff feels a little funny. I recently lifted with heavy weights the other day and after my workout, my left rotator cuff hurted a lot, especially the next morning. I iced it and it got better.I decided to skip a workout that day. The next day I felt perfect. No pain or anything. I rotated my shoulders a little back and forth to make sure there was no pain.
After that, I decided to lift again, not heavy though this time. Then my rotator cuff felt funny again. It was painful but the feeling just bothered me. i really hope I didn’t tear my rotator cuff.I felt perfectly fine until I began lifting again.
My question is een if I tore a little bit of my rotator cuff, can’t I just try to strenghten it with physical therapy? Do I need surgery?
It also hurts if I put pressure on the right side of my neck. The pain is only on my left rotator cuff? any ideas? I stops hurting, until i start lifting again

Do Rehabilitation Excerizes Really Help A Injured Rotator Cuff?

It will depend upon the injury. But there is no better treatment for a rotator cuff injury than physical therapy, unless it is a complete tear of one of the muscle or tendons. If it is a complete tear than surgery may be the best option, followed by physical therapy for rehabilitation.
