Should I Go For An MRI Scan For Prolonged Shoulder Pain?
I went to the dr a week ago with an aching pain in the center of my left shoulder, slight difference in strength and quicker fatigue than normal. After a shot of steroids and a steroid pack, no real change. While something as simple as folding towels makes my left shoulder feel as if I had been lifting weights.. Should I return for an MRI or wait to see if it gets better?

Hello,
You did not mention your age, any history of injury? your blood reports? are you diabetic?
However, if you are not relieved by steroids shots you should go MRI scan and than diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Jaideep Gaver, Orthopaedic Surgeon
