What does supraspinatus calcific tendinitis mean in MRI of shoulder?
Patient: I had a MRI of the left shoulder and I received the following impression: supraspinatus calcific tendinitis. Noted are several axillary lymph nodes which are subcentimeter in short axis dimension. Are the lymph nodes a result of the tendinitis? My GYN says it has nothing to do with my beast and the Orthopedic refer me to the GYN. I m in a lot of pain and don t know whether to worry about the lymph nodes. Thx Doctor: Hii read your problem,Calcific tendinitis means a disorder characterised by deposition of hydroxyapatite or crystalline calcium phosphate on any tendon of the body,but most commonly in the tendons of the rotator cuff(shoulder) causing pain nd inflammation.the condition is related to and may cause adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder.
