Default Shoulder MRI results from accident

Hi all,

Was rear ended by 2 vehicles in late March of this year, have posted before about the terrible problems from a concussion but I've also had awful pain in my left shoulder, PT improved the range of motion greatly but the pain is still there, always throbbing but pain especially when I lift my arm up and across my torso.

My Dr. sent me for an MRI without the dye and I have the results and wonder if anyone can decipher it for me?

The subacromial-subteltoid bursa contains a tiny amount of fluid compatible with minimal bursitis.

Rotator cuff tendons have minimal to mild amount of poorly marginated increased intermediate signal compatible with minimum to mild tendinopathy.

The acromioclavicular articulation has mild arthritis.

Acromion has mild lateral downsloping effacing the subacromial laterally.

Rotator tendons are without significant fluid signal tear identified.

When my family Dr. read the results he said..."You are fine, take ibuprofen..."

Well, no I don't feel fine, my shoulder hurts and some days are worse than others.

Anyone have any advice? it hurts to put my arm over my head, when I pick a drink up etc.

Thank you for any help.
