Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The findings of your MRI are suggestive of mild inflammatory changes due to the immobilization. All these changes are reversible after proper anti inflammatory therapy and regular physiotherapy after the sling is off.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
