Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I hurt my right shoulder at work a couple of weeks ago. I know hat there is something wrong with it I can feel it. My concern is my pain is off and on. Somedays It feel liking nothing is wrong and other days it hurts. I am getting a MRI done today, my worry is thy won t find anything even though I can feel that there is some kind of issue. Any advice?
I think you are having impingement syndrome or rotator cuff tear. This can not be diagnosed on the basis of x ray. It will need either examining by a sports medicine surgeon. Or it will need a MRI of the shoulder to confirm this diagnosis. If on MRI there is impingement present then It will need a arthroscopic sub acromial decompression. If there is rotator cuff tear then it will also need cuff repair with the help of arthroscopy and suture anchor repair. I would also like to forbid you that you should not do any type of massage therapy or steroid injection as this may cause more damage to already compromise shoulder tendon.
