What Does The Following MRI Result Indicate?

Hi, I fell with an outstretched arm 4 months ago. Just had an mri as the pain is severe when I reach or put my hand behind my back. The results are supraspinutus calcific teninopathy with low grade bursal surface partial tear at the footprint. What does this mean and can a fall cause the problem?

Thank you

Welcome to Health care magic.

1. The report says that there is inflammatory change noted in the shoulder joint which is described as tendentious.
2.And features of infection, there is a tear noted at bursaee, Yes tear are generaly happens after traumatic cause.
3.Calcific tendenopathy seen in case of old healed cases of infection / inflammation.
