i have three plates and screws in my body from a previous surgery and im wondering if i should get another surgery to remove them what do most patients usually do in this situation

Implants are usually left in unless they cause pain or interfere with movement. Removal is elective and discussed case by case.

View allCan an MRI show if a tendon is completely torn or just damaged and is it possible to heal a damaged tendon without surgery
Yes, an MRI can differentiate between a completely torn (ruptured) tendon and a partially torn or damaged tendon. It can also help determine the extent of the tear and assess any associated injuries, like avulsion fractures. Many damaged tendons can heal without surgery, especially partial tears, through conservative treatment options like rest, bracing, physical therapy, and potentially injections

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with shoulder pain for the past two weeks, and applying things like Moov or Relaxyl hasn't helped at all. It feels like my head is leaning forward when I walk, and there's this uncomfortable stiffness radiating from my shoulder down my back. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do next?
