Based on the symptoms you have described and the results of your MRI, it is likely that you have developed rotator cuff tendinopathy and degenerative changes in your shoulder joint, including subchondral cysts and AC joint arthritis. These changes can cause pain and stiffness in your shoulder, especially with heavy lifting or exercise.
To help manage your symptoms and prevent further damage, it is important to modify your exercise routine and avoid lifting heavy weights. You may also benefit from physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around your shoulder and improve range of motion.
In addition to medication, your doctor may recommend corticosteroid injections or other treatments to help manage your pain and inflammation. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair damaged tendons or joints.
It is important to work closely with your orthopedic doctor or a physical therapist to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and helps you get back to your normal activities safely.
