### Patient: Hi doctor, I think I have a rotator cuff injury, I'm experiencing shoulder pain and stiffness. 
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, I recommend you have a radiographic imaging procedure such as a plain X-ray to rule out any bone related injuries. Additionally, we may perform a Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate the severity of the injury. We can also prescribe physical therapy exercises to help strengthen and restore mobility to the affected shoulder. In some cases, splinting and other therapeutic procedures on muscles and tendons may be recommended to aid in the recovery process.
