Hi, welcome back and thanks for writing back.
I have gone through your previous question and new reports.
First of all I will tell you have done perfect investigations. No need to further investigation now.
Now regarding MRI- There is tendinosis in supraspinatous tendon with fluid and AC joint arthropathy. This is cause you are having pain in shoulder and cervical region. For this operation is not necessary. Physiotherapy will give you definitely relief. Corticosteroid injections will not affect the imaging pattern at all whether given before or after the procedure.
You can get your mri CR to me for second opinion. For that you need to write to customer care support.
If you are having severe pain which is disturbing sleep then you need some strong analgesics like tramadol.
Regarding carpel tunnel syndrome - ultrasonography is sufficient now. Ask your physiotherapists for exercises regarding same. If you are having pain in elbow then some exercise is wrong. Ask her to change it.
Both conditions are easily treatable with drugs like steroids and physiotherapy. So you don't need to worry too much now.
Hopefully I have answered your query. If you have further concern, please let me know.
Regards.

Hi, welcome back.
Be relax. That fluid is reactive only. It will disappeared completely once healing starts. It will decrease with physiotherapy and medications. Your medicine are correct you just continue it.
No need to do any further investigation now. No need to evaluate elbow joint. You may have problem in elbow but it is due compensatory overuse. Shoulder and wrist pain causes elbow overuse.
No need to worry about that.
