Default Shoulder pain and MRI results?

Hello,

I was rear ended by 2 vehicles 7 months ago, suffered a pretty bad concussion, whiplash, shoulder injury, went through PT and OT, my neck still hurts but my shoulder, even though it improved greatly from PT, is still giving me pain, especially at the front of my shoulder when I lift my arm up, it throbs almost constantly.

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.

I still have neck pain from the accident, i'm wondering if this could be related, when the PT pushed on part of my neck I almost jumped thru the roof.

Anyone have any advice? it hurts to put my arm over my head, when I pick a drink up, cannot sleep on my left side etc.

Thank you very much for any help.
