I had a shoulder injury years ago (rotator cuff tendon) and I think a large part of why it barely recovered was that I didn't eat enough proteinWas it a partial tear? I tore both of my rotator cuffs a total of 3 times lifting heavy weights. Each time, I had PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injections guided by ultrasound. The largest tear was the size of a Quarter. I healed in about 6 weeks, although it took about 3 months before I could resume my regular weight training schedule. My wife injured her rotator cuff, had surgery, and it took her over 6 months to heal. Tiger Woods and many tennis stars used PRP to heal fast. I also had this injection for a back injury and a buildup of arthritis. It apparently cleaned out the bits of calcium and ended the pain in a few weeks.
Here's a short description of the benefits:
