What Does Supraspinatus Calcific Tendinitis Mean In MRI Of Shoulder?
I had a MRI of the left shoulder and I received the following impression: supraspinatus calcific tendinitis. Noted are several axillary lymph nodes which are subcentimeter in short axis dimension. Are the lymph nodes a result of the tendinitis? My GYN says it has nothing to do with my beast and the Orthopedic refer me to the GYN. I m in a lot of pain and don t know whether to worry about the lymph nodes. Thx
