"The study reveals altered signal in the distal part of the supraspinatous tendon just before the myotendinous junction appearing hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2 weighted images. Associated small amount of fluid is seen in the subacromial bursa suggesting bursitis."

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM. The findings that are mentioned are not serious issues. Propably they might have resulted due to overuse and irritation. You might be having pain in the shoulder at one particular point and during a specific movement of the shoulder.
* avoid overhead shoulder activities (shuttle badminton, cricket bowling, tennis) for a few weeks
* use anti inflammatory medications
* hot fomentation
Hope your condition improves after following these measures. Regards
