Have Shoulder Lesions, Pain Is Worse. X Ray Says Nodular Calcific Densities Are Seen Superolateral. Means?

hi i ve done x ray for my shoulder lesions. i havent seen my doctor yet, but the pain is getting worst now, i cannot move and lift my right arms or shoulder. what will i do? what medicine will i take? x ray results says: nodular calcific densities are seen superolateral to the humeral head. the rest of the included osseous structures and joint spaces are intact. there is no distinct fracture , dislocation, or osseous erosions. the soft tissues are unremarkable. Impression: consider calcific tendinitis .

Hi and thanks for the query,
This simply means that there are deposits of hard tissue or some masses at the superior and lateral areas of the affected shoulders. this could arise from numerous causes like arthritis and many other autoimune diseases. Definitive treatment would depend on a clinical appreciation, and other tests identifying the exact cause. for now, immobilization of the limb and use of Anti inflammatory drugs and analgesics would be sufficient to control the pain till you wait to see your doctor. Kind regards
