Anybody know shoulders?

There is edema in the
infraspinatus muscle. The remainder of the
rotator cuff musculature is well maintained
without atrophy or signal abnormality.BTW: This is hugely important. You're approaching geezerdom (I was 58 when I tore my cuff). It's gonna be uncomfortable, but if this were my MRI, I'd NSAID up and wait half a year.

I’m sleeping now but I had a few bad days.
I was rotating my arms jacking up a car on June 8th. It hurt. And I go to the gym 6 days a week.
I figured it was some muscle issue and would resolve in 2-3 days. It got progressively worse for 9 days so I scheduled a visit with a shoulder guy (he was team physician for the Minnesota Twins and was assistant physician for the Yankees - yeah he prolly knows a thing or two about shoulders.)
They did xr on site that showed nothing (as expected) and ordered MRI. MRI was yesterday, but I don’t see him until Tuesday.
I’m in far less pain now but I don’t have full strength (by far) and some basic motions cause pain.
We’ll see what he suggests Tuesday.

Surgeon recommended non-surgical options. That is always comforting.
Excellent. With a non through-and-through tear, it should heal up with PT and scar down. It'll be a slow process, however. Mine took about 6-8 weeks to stop hurting.
