Hi Eric, what were the results of your MRI?
Dave Scott has me doing inverted hand dumbell raises between bench sets. I hold the dumbell, like maybe an 8 pounder, with my thumb pointed down so the dumbell shaft is perpendicular to the floor and my arm is 45 degrees out from my body, slowly raising the bumbell to shoulder height. That works the tiny muscles that comprise the rotator cuff and strenthens them. If you don't need surgery, give that a try.
hope that works
Brock
