I had an MRI of my right shoulder and was hoping someone could help me understand the results. I can't get into the Dr. for another week and really want to understand where all this pain is coming from before then. Thanks for any help given.
FINDINGS:
The examination demonstates rotator cuff tendinosis of a severe damage, with thickening and icreased signal diffusely evident within the supraspinatus tendon. There is miild bursal sided fraying, more evident more anteriorly. Fluid in the subdeltoid bersa reflects mild bursitis. There is mild degenerative change about the AC joint, with lateral downsloping of the acromion. There is type I-II anterior acromion on the sagittal views. Changes in the glenoid labrum are reflective of a anterior-superiorsublabral foramen, with a superior sublabral sulcus and posterior-superior blunting and fraying. The biceps tendon is intact. The subscapularis tendon anteriorly shows diffuse moderate tendinosis as well.
IMPRESSION:
1. Rotator cuff tendinosis diffusely involving the supraspinatus tendon of a severe degree, with thickening and increased signal. There is bursal sided fraying more evident more anteriorly in the supraspinatus tendon.
2. Moderate subdeltoid bursitis.
3. Appearance of the glenoid labrum which suggests an anterior-superior sublabral foramen, with a superior sublabral sulcus and posterior-superior labral blunting and fraying.
