What Does This X-ray Test Report For Right-sided Shoulder Pain Indicate?

! Hello! I am a quite healthy and active 76 year old woman who has never given birth. Was in a car accident about 6 years ago and wrenched my R shoulder fom the back seat to the front. AAbout a year ago someone rear ended me & I jumped out of the car and reinjured that same shoulder. Have had physical therapy, get massages monthly and am now seeing a chiropractor and it doesnot seem to lbe improving much. An Xray revealed 2 bone spurs on that shoulder. What would U advise me to do. I m continuing exercizes assigned me but not when they hurt or a jabbing pain erupts usually down the center of the shoulder and stops about 4 in. above my elbow ... What to do??? Also,I eat well, lots of fruits and veggies, chicken & fish, do not eat many packaged foods and wonder how much calcium citrate does this healthy body need to take as a supplement??? Thanks....Thanks for your response, Mary

Hi, there!
X-rays show bone condition only and spurs were found. It says, that biceps tendon and rotator cuff are affected too.
Ultrasonography or MRI scan can reveal tendon and bone cartilage condition.

You are on the right way doing exercises and physiotherapy.
You can make Ultrasound wave therapy with Diclophenac gel or Cortison shot in shoulder joint, if tendinits confirms after scans.
The last step is shoulder arthroscopy, but seems that Your shoulder condition isnt so bad.

I hope this helps
