I have a follow up appt with an Ortho next week but here are my MRI results. I have had on and off shoulder issues for 10 years. Now it feels like a constant dull tooth ache pain in my shoulder. Any thoughts or tips on this? I have done some PT in the past but it has always aggravated the shoulder again and I have had to stop...
ROTATOR CUFF:
-Supraspinatus: Moderate severity supraspinatus tendon tendinopathy. There are some areas of low T1 and low T2 signal intensity, which are suggestive of calcification in the setting of calcific tendinitis.
-Infraspinatus: No tendon tear, tendinopathy or fatty atrophy.
-Subscapularis: Mild subscapularis tendinopathy without tearing.
-Teres minor: No tendon tear, tendinopathy or fatty atrophy.
CORACOACROMIAL ARCH:
-Morphology: Type II acromion. No subacromial spur. Subacromial and subcoracoid space are normal.
-Bursa: Trace fluid in the subacromial subdeltoid bursa. The coracoacromial and coracoclavicular joints are negative.
ACROMIOCLAVICULAR JOINT:
-Normal.
LONG HEAD OF BICEPS TENDON:
-Mild biceps tendinopathy within the intra-articular portion. No tearing. No tenosynovitis.
GLENOHUMERAL JOINT:
-Labrum: No labral tear. No paralabral cyst.
-Cartilage: Normal.
-Joint space: No effusion or synovitis.
-Glenohumeral ligaments and capsule: No pericapsular inflammation.
BONES:
-No fracture or concerning marrow replacing lesion.
SOFT TISSUES:
-Normal deltoid muscle bulk. Normal visualized chest wall and axilla.
