Brief Answer:
Mild inflammation likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached images of shoulder MRI scan. There is no gross fracture and tear in the images attached. There can be a mild inflammation and thickening of the capsule at some places which can cause the pain in the shoulder. Regular physiotherapy hot compress and oral muscle relaxants can help.
Do attach the radiologist's report for a better evaluation.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Surgery is needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The attached report suggests a complete tear of supraspinatous tendon with retraction. This cannot be treated with medicines or physiotherapy. This needs a surgical repair of the tendon. Hot water bag can be used till then for pain relief. Do avoid all the painful activities.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
