if your rotator cuff is torn should you
get it fixed right away or is it fine to
keep playing hockey with it

no you shouldnt play hockey with it.
It needs ice, rest, rehabilitation and
proper exercises to bring strength back.
If it is a complete tear sometimes surgery
is indicated.

i have a question. ok i dont know if i
tore my rotator cuff or if it was muscle
but i was throwning a football and all of
a sudden my shoulder pops and went dead,
after i gave it a rest and thought nothing
of it. i went to some baseball practices
and threw but by the second practice
rolled around i could barely throw and now
when ever im not doing anything or
slightly moving it i get very sharp pains
in my shoulder can anyone can tell what i
did to it?

Sounds like Rotator Cuff though the fact
that it 'went dead' suggests also a
neurological problem.
Either way, I would stop playing all
sports and get along to your doctor for
diagnsis as soon as possible. it will
need rest, ice / heat and painkillers as
well as rehabilition excercises.

If you say it "poped" there is a very good
chance you dislocated it. A dislocaton
(when the head of the humerous pops out of
the acronon process of the scapula)
commonly follows the rotator cuff injury
because the rotator cuff hold help to hold
the shoulder together. Hence, you need an
X-ray taken.
