Same here. For me it took a long time to heal. if it is a full tear they will do surgery. In my 20's I had a partial tear which took about a year to heal. I did my other one a few years ago (in my 30's) and it's back to about 80% now after 3 years, but this was a combination of an AC joint separation as well as the rotator cuff though.
I did the cortisone injections for my most recent one, and it worked like magic! Only problem is, once the cortisone wore off it was very aggravated because of how much it had been used with no pain to limit my movements. Although it did allow for lots of strengthening exercises to be done that my physio gave me to do. So I'm not sure if the cortisone was good or bad...
My riding positions don't seem to bother my shoulders though, which is a plus! Good luck with your recovery!
