My husband has been dealing with shoulder pain for two years now because of gym exercises. The MRI shows a small partial thickness tear in the anterior fibers, no full-thickness tear or tendon retraction, and some fluid in the subacromial bursa along with acromioclavicular arthropathy. Can this be treated with medication or will he need surgery?
