I just had an MRI Arthrogram where they inject the dye into my shoulder. The results were mostly good, and I won't be able to see the ortho for about a week ( he is away)... The only negative really listed on the report is "supraspinatus tendinopathy is noted without evidence of full thickness rotator cuff tear" Everything else is bascily listed as "intact" or "unremarkable", including the labrum....I have had chronic shoulder problems for about 7 years., but I would love to avoid surgery unless I really need it. Any opinions on this are appreciated because it helps to educate me before I go see the doctor.

If anyone is familiar with this diagnosis are there specific exercises recommended for this?

Cortisone shots/ or other modalities?

Thanks!
