I just got my report. It says:
Impression:
1. Small interstitial supraspinatus tendon tear and mild supraspinatus peritendinous bursitis. No full thickness retracted tear seen.
2. No labral tear seen. (This is what my doctor was 99.9% sure I had.)
3. Intact biceps pulley tendon mechanism. (He also thought this was messed up.)
So, YAY, basically! According to my PT niece, I am headed for physical therapy and NOT surgery. Of course, the doctor will have to confirm this, but even the medical sites I looked at just now said that you should do PT for 3-6 months before considering surgery.
My appointment is not for another week, so I guess I will just lay low until then and relax and stop thinking about surgery.
By the way, I looked up to see what the PT would be for this, and it was all of the arm exercises and weight lifting that I have been doing as part of my regular workouts - push ups, rows, etc.
