Question: i had an MRI of the shoulder done , the findings are :
* joint effusion noted with extension into subcoracoid region.
*SLAP -II tear noted
*hypertintensity noted between supraspinatous tendon and sobscapularis-s/o Rotator interval tear
*typeII Acromian
*mild degerative changes noted acromioclavicular joint.
is a surgery required or can it be clinically corrected???????????

The pain is due to a fall in the toilet due to slipping and hitting the shoulder against the bathtub in the process . The fall took place in end Nov 14, I was treated by an ortho. I was prescribed pain killers and physiotherapy, The condition improved. However on improvement I attended a yoga session . thereafter the pain has gradually increased. I am able to move my arm horizontally and up to a certain extent but move behind the back is not possible and very painful. I am a Principal and have a lot of righting work to do. i am able to do it but the pain persists. I am able to drive and carry out basic work with my arm except movement behind. Of late the pain is continuous even while sleeping and therefore decided to go for an MRI. Now that the MRI has given these results i am keen to know if non operative treatment and physiotherapy along with medicines can cure the ailment.
there is difficulty in elevating the arm above the head. But movement is possible up to a point above the horizontal,
No i am not diabetic

How long will the surgery last and what would be the post operative recovery period for me to arrange leave and rejoin duty after the surgery. Please indicate the rough cost of the surgery as well.
will the surgery be a permanent relief because literatures available on the net suggest that it may not fool proof or give the desired results. Please clarify
