Sam Hall15 said:Look, surgery isn't really on the table right now. If I were you, I'd probably go ahead and get an ANA profile done just to rule out any autoimmune stuff or rheumatoid factor issues. Definitely grab a consultation with a physiatrist too. Depending on what those tests show, your primary care doctor or an internist might prescribe something like an NSAID, though honestly, that’s probably unlikely for now... eventually, it’ll likely just boil down to some physical therapy or just getting some solid advice, so don't make too big a deal out of it yet.

thanks

I really need someone to help me make sense of this radiology report:

Mineralization was noted in the right shoulder images.
A small bone cyst in the acromial process of the scapula.
Early arthritic changes in the acromioclavicular joint.
The joint bodies of the acromioclavicular and humeroscapular joints are congruent.

Basically, I’m currently in my notice period at work—basically being phased out because they have too many people—so I’m asking for an explanation here in plain English. If this means I actually need treatment (like, say, surgery), it would be way better to handle it while I'm still on sick leave at my current company. I'd just pause my notice period. There is absolutely no way I can take sick leave once I land a new job (IF I land one... fingers crossed)...

Thanks in advance!

p.s. I work in field sales, so my car is basically my second home—I'm betting that has something to do with this.
