Had an MRI on my shoulder as I have been experiencing severe shoulder pain following an ulnar nerve surgery a few weeks ago. The surgery was a little atypical because they found a lipoma that was pressing down on the nerve just above my elbow so it wasn't a true entrapment like what they thought it was. My elbow pain has sense resolved but have been experiencing severe shoulder pain ever since.
I had my MRI and the results posted but I don't understand the terminology and I don't see Ortho for another 3 weeks
