MRI RESULT

Asked for Female, 57 years

I HAD MRI OF MY LEFT SHOULDER AND REPORTS SAYS MODERATE OA CHANGES NOTED IN THE LEFT AC JOINT WITH SOME NARROWING OF THE SUBACROMIAL SPACE AND MILD IMPINGEMENT OF THE INFERIOR ASPECT OF LEFT ACROMION ON THE SUPERIOR ASPECT OF SUPRASPINATUS TENDONS. GLENOHUMERAL JOINT EFFUSION NOTED. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN IN SIMPLE ENGLISH ? I AM 51 YEAR OLD FEMALE, SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT MRI RESULTS?

Dear Patient,

In simple words, this means that there is less gel fluid in between your shoulder joint bones which is probably causing some friction and pain when bones move. OA changes mean osteoarthritis or a type of arthritic change of bone which can be expected at your age due to degenerative changes/breakdown. Joint effusion means around the joint there is swelling due to fluid leaking outside which is expected during inflammation changes. Consider seeing an orthopedic.
