you would need to physically see a second orthopedic surgeon. have the surgeon examine you and review your mri so they can render that all-important second opinion. a diagnosis is not made solely by the mri. the results need to be correlated with examination findings.
i would like a second opinion on my mri of my shoulder how would i go about doing this? . i'm a 48 yo old female with pain in my left shoulder sometimes severe enough to bring me to tears. i also have limited mobility and can't lift my arm above my head & there is a bulge on the outside of my upper arm between my shoulder and my elbow that hurts if i press on it & my left arm is very weak. my results that said i have osteoarthritis and tendinosis of the supraspinatus tendon without a tear. i have a copy of my mri on disk how do i get a second opinion? dawn
