Rotator Cuff injury

Almost a year ago I was bumped into in the swimming pool.
Apparently I have a rotator cuff injury. I've been attending physio for nearly 2 months and doing exercises as advised
Physio tells me strength in arm has improved but it's still as painful
If I reach behind me it's worse.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience of this
I haven't been to GP as I'm already having physio and have pain relief for other joint problems

Hope it’s better soon!

I had one - a health care professional actually yanked my shoulder during a procedure, which caused it. Physio wouldn’t do in-person appointments. Developed into a frozen shoulder. Five years on it’s still quite weak but have been able to use my arm for about three years and I do weights to try and strengthen it.
