Persistent Pain

As a youth, I played racquetball every day after work. I loved the exercise and the comraderie with friends, along with the competition.  After several years, I stopped due to shifting and many job responsibilities. As I have aged,  I developed shoulder pain.  Recently it become ao painful I went to a doctor.  He gave me cortisone shots. After a MRI the doctor said I have a torn rotator cuff.  The surgery requires several months of recovery.  I felt I am too old for the surgery and the recovery. But, the pain is growing more severe and persistent. I can’t do anything to relieve it.  What can I do?
