Shoulder arthroscopic
X-ray taken on 28th of Dec'22. There is a small lump-like deposition between the shoulder joints which causes immense pulsating pain while lifting or any type of free arm movements.
Two methods suggested during initial consultation are-
1. Micro-needling process
2. Arthroscopic surgery (where the lump removed will be sent out for biopsy to know if it's Uric acid or calcium deposition etc)
Queries - I would like to know if there are any other available options from the ones mentioned above.
And
If this can be diagnosed with simple exercises without the need for treatments, what are those exercise methods.
And
If these are the only options available, which one would be the best to go ahead with.

Hello, greetings from Kolkata.
As per your age, history and x-rays provided it may be a calcific tendinitis of rotator cuff. But generally before proceeding for surgery an MRI scan of shoulder is suggested. If it's the same diagnosis the options provided to you makes sense.
Next Steps
Get an MRI scan done and send the films and report. Arthroscopic debridement has a lesser chance of recurrence. can be planned according to the size and etiology of the lesion.

I think you should first get MRI of Shoulder to clearly identify the cause for the problem..
Accordingly procedure can be planned. If it is something, which can just be treated by exercises, then that may be planned accordingly.
If it requires some surgery, that can be clearly defined..
