I have a chronic pain on my right shoulder for about 6 mos now and the result of my mri is :
- Focal full-thickness tear involving the infraspinatus tendon
- Partial thickness tear invlvng the supraspinatus tendon
- Tiny amount of fluid in the subacromial/subdeltoid bursa
- Mild degenerative changes of the right AC joint.
Questions are:
My orthopedic doc injected a cortisone but it didnt help. Now he was suggesting a surgery due to a rotator cuff. I just had a mastectomy and want to recover from the side effects of anesthesia. Can physical therapy help ?
Since I have my port-a-carth located on my right upper chest, can that be the possible cause of the pain where nerves are not functioning well?
Thank you.
