Rotator cuff tendinosis, possible tear

[Perbast]

A very interesting discussion here - and a typical shoulder case - very difficult to diagnose. We don't really have any specific test for the different lesions of the shoulder. The testing we have cery often test for two or more lesions. Your frustration is understandable. You must have at RC lesion ++ - even a partial lesion will have improved after what you have done to it. Spontaneous lesions like this happens, but are very difficult to isolate. The white spots you describe on the MRI could be liquid as a sign of inflamation. If you have a lesion, you also have an inflamation. You most likely will need some kind of reconstruction. Good luck

Thank you. Yikes. By "RC lesion ++", do you mean multiple RC lesions? And by lesion, do you mean tear? When I see the word lesion I think "growth". One more day to wait --- tomorrow I'll get the MRI results.

No - I did mean that chances are that you do have a lesion - having said that, isolated lesion are rare. I prefer to paint a realistic picture and have you discover different with the MRI - good luck today

I have a "blister" or ball underneath my skin, just behind my clavicle, after a rotator cuff tear. Does anyone know what this is? Will it clear up?
Thanks
