    An MRI was done of the Right shoulder, the different weights is for fluids vs solids, etc.
    The collarbone at both ends is showing age-related degeneration in the form of bone spurs. Calcification of the attachment points.
    There are four muscles in the Rotator cuff- SITS, Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, and Subscapularis. You completely tore the Supraspinatus, (which lies on the upper part of the shoulder blade). The subscapularis tendon has long-term inflammatory changes, aka tendinosis. (short term inflammation is the "itis"...tendonitis")
    The shoulder capsule, where the arm meets the shoulder blade, is torn. Also called a SLAP tear. There is a bit of an inflammatory response still present by the way of “joint effusion”.
    The age-related degenerative changes in the shoulder are impinging…..aka pinching…. on the soft tissue. They will go in there then and clean up that area to avoid future impingement issues
    For me, this is a surgical case. With a full tear plus a SLAP tear, you will be better off with surgery, unless you are in your 70s. Although the biceps tendon looks good, they may relocate it from the capsule (labrum) to a screwed in anchor point on your humerus (upper arm) in a procedure called a bicep tenodesis procedure.

    Darrin, sorry to hear about this. Recovery is long. If it's your dominant hand, you'll be amphibious by the end of your recovery.

    Contact Dr. Alison Toth at Duke if you want it done to the highest spec. She did mine, and my wife, who tore BOTH rotator cuffs. Dr. Toth is the bomb!

    Workers Comp, so my choices may be limited.

    Currently working with Peachtree Ortho in Atlanta, but I'm heading home to a local doctor Friday.

    Thanks for the recommendation.
