osteoarthritis
This is the report from MRI Osteoarthritis in the left shoulder with cartilage erosion and mild joint effusion associated with osteoarthritis in the acromioclavicular joint with mild impingement over the superior surface of the left supraspinatus muscles. No ratator cuff tear or tissue retraction no muscles astrophy.
There is patchy tendinosis in the posterior fibers. There is mild distal infraspinatus and subscapularis tendinosis. The teres minor tendon is intact. There is a trace subacromial-subdeltoid bursal effusion. No muscle atrophy or fatty infiltration. also,
CORACOACROMIAL ARCH: The undersurface of the acromion is flat with abroad-based subacromial spur. There is mild osteoarthritis of the acromioclavicular joint. There is focal moderate edema in the distal clavicle.

I would like to put it this way, if you have soft bump then it could be due to some effusion or collection of blood.
If it is a hard bump it needs further evaluation to see for any fracture of bone or any fracture fragments if persisting.
I think it would be better if you consult orthopaedician and get imaging study done to rule any fracture.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.

Mild medial joint space narrowing (if at all), no major osteophytes (bone spurs), no effusion. So little to no arthritis. No major abnormalities. Looks like a healthy knee. Sunrise/merchant view would be helpful to look at your patellofemoral joint. Are stairs your problem or prolonged kneeling? If so, then patellofemoral joint arthrosis. If you have locking/catching/clicking and pain on the inside/medial of your knee then likely meniscus tear.
Osteoarthritis, Ligament damage, Meniscus damage or Patello-femoral disorder.
Your symptom of pain at the joint line is the result of a collateral ligament or meniscus problem (or both) until proven otherwise.
When did your pain begin, what were you doing at the time, and what were the initial symptoms?
Your other symptom of feeling of grinding and grating is characteristic of osteoarthritis.
What is the quality of your pain (sharp, shooting, dull, etc.)?
Joint swelling or swollen joints could be due to osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis if this has been going on for a long time. Joint which swell suddenly could be due to infection, bleeding, bursitis or effusion.
The first thing would be to get your thyroid and blood sugar tested and consult an orthopedic specialist.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
My last MRI show worsening of osteoarthritis of the right hip joint with high grade chondral loss and bone on bone contact.There is an extensive degenerative tear of the right acetabular labrum, which has progressed compared to 1 year ago is is now associated with a new smal paralabral cyst. There is also a new small right hip joint effusion. On top of that i have a severe degenerative disc disease at l3 and l4.....
Based on how I am understanding my test results most of my pain is from hip impingement, not necessarily osteoarthritis. I am uncomfortable sitting for long periods, and recently (last month or so) riding my bike has become occasionally painful both during and after the ride. I have been prescribed meloxicam 15mg daily. I have been taking it for about a week without much relief.
I have osteoarthritis in my neck moderate and mild in lower back. Can and adjusment help? will they even do an adjustment me? i seem to be losing sensativity in my legs but dont know if iy du to oa in back nad neck.any help would be great. thank you.
I am afraid that I have developed osteoarthritis in my hands, esp. in the thumb joint. I experience pain up to 5 on 1/10 scale, but not swelling. After I ride my bike my hands hurt for several days, maybe the handlebar is too big around. The symptoms developed shortly after I broke my wrist (Collies fracture) two years ago. I realize that if I have this problem it isn't going away. How do I keep the damage to a miminim? I use Ibuprofen for pain with fair results.
I have Osteoarthritis and it is getting worse. I taken Celebrex, Norco, Tramadol and Vicopren. None of these are working. I don't have insurance and go to a public health clinic. They don't seem to know what to do. Could you please advise me on what I can take that will help with the chronic pain and will be inexpensive.
I've had mri's of my spine and shows osteoarthritis with bone spurs in cervical thoracic and lumbar. This was done in 2007 (i was 35), now i have this horrible tendonitis in both wrists and i'm on prednisone. Could this be related to the arthritis? i'm seeing an ortho but he doesn't know about the osteoarthritis (i was just rereading my reports and it jumped out at me). What should i expect with this diagnosis?
i was also wondering about the osteoarthritis as my dr told me that i have severe degenerative osteoarthritis of the lower spine (I forgot the numbers), hips, left shoulder and both feet. I had major surgery last summer and mesh was used to attach part of my bowel to my spine. My dr figures that this may have jump-started the arthritis issues. Currently i have probs walking, bending and overall it hurts to be on my feet for more than 20 mins at a time.
/ I knew my condition was bad b/c of the amount of pain I am in but wasn't expecting that especially @ 32 with a 4 yr old and 7 month old!! Anyways, he adviced pain meds and synvisc-one injections until we couldn't control the pain enough. I tried the injections. I won't lie the are a bit painful. My right one was just uncomfortable. The left one hurt way worse. I have no idea why but it even swelled up and I had to stay off it about 24 hours b/c of all the fluid on it.
there is mild thickening of the anterior and posterior mitral value leaftlets.mitral leaflet mobility is normal ....pericardium trivial pericardial effusion is present ...the pericardial effusion is anterior to the right ventricle....
Her chest x-ray also looked clear, except for the effusion. Her cardiologist says the pleural effusion is not from her heart or kidneys. The doctors aren't sure what is causing it. She is diabetic and is on meds for it and she also watches her diet, just thought I'd add that in. She was sent home with a PleurX catheter and she is now on Pradaxa for the atrial fib to prevent clots. A nurse comes to the house every 2 days to drain her left lung.
Is small bilateral effusion serious? I was diagnosed by xray. Should I try anything for second opinion or is a xray diagnosis fairly concrete? Are treatments of small bilateral effusion risky? And finally, what is best treatment option? By the way I have no symptoms relating to this diagnosis. Thanks for any replies, especially from medical professional.
