Brief Answer:
Needs surgical repair.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your MRI scan report suggests that there is a full thickness tear of supraspinatus tendon with retraction. This torn tendon cannot heal with a conservative treatment. This needs an arthroscopic surgical repair. Waiting for 45 days will only add to your disability. It will not get healed up with rest. Rest of the changes like fluid collection and partial tear can heal with rest.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
