What Is My MRI Report Suggestive Of?

Hi I just got my MRI results of my left shoulder, and find that I have a tear in my rotator cuff, some degeneration, and some tear in other spots but not sure where. I was given the results by the MA, and the Dr. has yet to call me. I m in pain in the mean time and can t take NSAIDS, or NAPROXEN. What can I do?

Hi welcome to the health care magic

Here depending on severity of your muscle tear further management decided

You are having rotator cuff injury, hence for that ibuprofen like drug prescribed meanwhile... You have mentioned you can't take NSAIDS, reason is not mentioned for that, so after doc consultation drug taken

Second intralesional steroid injection is another mode of therapy if suitable

If severity more and if needed surgical management done for that

Warm compress helpful, take rest

Avoid strenuous work

Take care

Consult orthopedic surgeon for examination and further work up
