Had another MRI on 11/4/2021.
Made it all the way through this time.
Results get explained to me and told what happens next on 11/10.
MRI SHOULDER WITHOUT IV CONTRAST LEFT - Details
Study Result
Impression
Findings most compatible with a near full-thickness tearing of the supraspinatus tendon at the footprint. The tear is poorly visualized given poor signal-to-noise ratio on this study and suboptimal patient positioning.

MRI SHOULDER WITHOUT CONTRAST LEFT
CLINICAL HISTORY: Left shoulder pain, injury.
COMPARISON: Left shoulder radiograph August 3, 2021.
TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar, multisequence MR imaging of the right shoulder without contrast.
FINDINGS:
OSSEOUS AND ARTICULAR STRUCTURES:
Acromioclavicular joint: Moderate degenerative changes.
Glenohumeral joint: No significant degenerative changes. No joint effusion.
Bones: There are patchy areas of T1 hypointensity within the humeral shaft and metaphysis. There is hypointense marrow signal intensity within the majority of the scapula with some sparing of the superior glenoid. This finding probably represents red
marrow conversion.
BURSAE:
Subacromial/subdeltoid bursa: There is a moderate amount of fluid probably related to the supraspinatus tear.
Subcoracoid bursa: Normal.
ROTATOR CUFF:
Supraspinatus: There is near full-thickness tearing of the supraspinatus at the footprint without significant tendon retraction identified. There is some edema within the adjacent soft tissues. The tear is poorly visualized given poor signal-to-noise
ratio on this study and suboptimal patient positioning there is a 2.4 cm collection within the subacromial/subdeltoid bursa.
Infraspinatus: Intact
Subscapularis: Intact
Teres minor: No evidence for tear or tendinopathy.
Musculature has normal bulk and signal intensity.
LABRUM/CAPSULE:
Labrum: Poorly visualized
Glenohumeral ligaments: Poorly visualized
MISCELLANEOUS:
Long head biceps tendon: The intra-articular portion is poorly visualized. The biceps tendon is visualized within the bicipital groove. There is some surrounding fluid that is a nonspecific finding.
Rotator interval: Poorly visualized
Other: None.
