Answers:
A rotator cuff injury is an injury to one or more of the four muscles in the shoulder!. This shoulder injury may come on suddenly and be associated with a specific injury such as a fall (acute), or it may be something that gets progressively worse over time with activity that aggravates the muscle (chronic)!. Occasionally, even a simple act like rolling over in bed can result in a rotator cuff injury!.

If your husband was lifting a large amount of weight, he may have torn one of the muscles in his rotator cuff, He should be resting the injured shoulder and start rehabiliation of his shoulder with a physical therapist or chiropractor!.
