here are all of the mri images that were taken. i have been back and forth from steriod to anti inflamatories to a cordozone injection as well as physical therapy. none of these have worked. all the medications i had took never did bring the inflamation down or relieve pain. a few of the medications ive been on for this is a steriod pack, meloxicam, naproxen, tramadol. there are more but i cant remember them all. when i move my shoulder a certain way it crunches and pops my bone near the scapula. it is a constant sharp or sometimes theobbing pain in the shoulder and the rest of my back feels sore and tight. it is only my left shoulder that is hurt. i have not injured myself in any way but my doctor said he thinks it may be the size of my breasts. i am trying to get a second opinion becausw my doctor didnt know what was wrong and why none of the treatments are helping.
