Does An Arthroscopy Help In Identifying The Cause Of Edema In The Shoulder?

I was in a car accident 4 weeks ago. injured my shoulder. I had an MRI showed lots of edema around posterior labrum and rotator cuff. couldn t be sure theres no tear. I ve done therapy for 3 weeks with no improvement. Can I suggest an arthroscope to get to the bottom of it?
