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..

A torn rotator cuff is a very painful injury caused by a wide variety of things.. Mine came at the hands of golf.. Repairing it is done via arthoscopic surgery these days.. He will have to rehabilitate it for about 6-8 weeks and it'll hurt for the first week or so after surgery..

Maybe try to consult a psychologist about not wanting to give up weights for his health..Then rediscuss the importance of giving his cuff a rest so it can properly heal..
