Hey guys, how's it going?
Anyways, I'm here looking for information to my injury, and perhaps aid to my solution. Here's the breakdown
When: I injured my shoulder back in February 2005
How: Maxing the bench press without warming up
Area that hurts:Inner shoulder and area around AC Joint, where a BUMP is
So June 8th I went to an orthopaedic surgeon about my injury, and we took X-rays. The AC Joint region seemed darker on the X-Ray, perhaps inflamed
This wasn't good enough for me, so I had MRIs done. Here are the results:
-----------------------------------------
FINDINGS: Magnetic resonance imaging of the right shoulder demonstrates the muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff to be intact.
The intrascapular and extrascapular components of the biceps tendon are intact.
There is thickening and redundancy of the anterior limb of the inferior glenohumeral ligament. There is no evidence of discrete labral detachment; however, clinically correlation will dictate the need for further characterization with MR arthrography.
There is a 1cm subchondral cyst within the greater tuberosity.
There is no evidence of glenohumeral joint effusion.
IMPRESSION:
1. Thinkening and redundancy of the anterior limb of the inferior glenohumeral ligament consistent with capsular injury. There is no evidence of discrete labral detachment, however, if further characterization of the labrum is required, MR Arthrography is recommended
3. 1 cm subchondral cyst within the greater tuberosity
----------------------------------------
Based on all of this, how serious is this injury? Also, what are possible methods for solution? I am going to go back to the doctor with the results, but I figured this forum would be a definitely good place to check out on this.
Thanks all!
