Hello there,
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...
I've gone through your query in details...
I can understand your concern...

Well, the right shoulder pain may or may not be related to this new onset right knee pain...I believe he must've been checked by an Orthopaedician by now...If yes, kindly share those details also...

No, there are no attachments found yet, so please reattach the printed reports to the 'Reports section' for reviewing...

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take Care
Kind Regards

Brief Answer:
Orthopedician consultation recommended for repair and healing...

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back,

I've reviewed both the attached reports...

Well, the MRI of the Knee is unremarkable, and everything reported as normal findings there...

However, the right shoulder seems to be injured (there's labral tear). The ac joint arthritis with subchondral marrow oedema could be secondary to this injury only...

1 year is a long time with this kind of shoulder injury. Hence it's strongly recommended that he visits an Orthopaedician for an immediate review...Ideally, it should be surgically repaired and corrected for better healing...

In the meanwhile, he can take a mild painkiller as ACETAMINOPHEN/PARACETAMOL 650mg thrice daily after some food...Avoid any kind of heavyweight bearing on the right side...Please keep the shoulder rested, a shoulder immobilizer can be used to keep it in a fixed place for the time being...

Let me know if I can assist you further...

Take Care
Kind Regards
