Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, these are grading of acromion, types and this means that yours is a bit hooked on the undersurface and has more propensity to cause tear in your rotator cuff tendons, and if surgery to repair your cuff is undertaken, you will need acromioplasty as well
I hope that answers your query. If your want any more clarification, contact me back.
