What if have a MRI it shows mild supraspinatus tendinopathy and peritendinitis with borderline impingement has 6 to7mm clearance between anterolateral acromion and hemeral head what should be done?

Answer 1

I have found over the past 5 years of enduring a similar injury to my left shoulder that this is pretty much going to be a life long thing, and while everyone was very nice during physical therapy, there was one very quiet nurse who whispered to me, when I asked how long until I get better, and her words were "You're just going to have to get used to living like this." Then signed my paper that nothing more could be done. After researching my final test results and looking up all the words and phrases, I've come to the conclusion that she is right it is a life long thing, it's not going to heal, and about 67% of people who take the injections end up getting surgery anyway. Since my injury I have met others who have shoulder conditions and they are never able to extend their arm outward. As it stands now, if I am holding something out for someone to get, such as a piece of paper, if they don't take it soon enough, then I have to put my arm down. Having this has made me more angry at the people who abuse pain medication and make it hard for doctors to give a patient what they need to function for daily activities. Not including things like throwing the ball for your dog or gardening or changing your house around just for a change. Having this has changed my whole lifestyle, and made life rather boring because it's too painful to bear. Sorry for the lengthy answer that is negative, but that's about how mine is. Good luck. -Kathy
