A heavy pan fell on my right foot about 10 months ago, not sure if this is the reason but whenever I play sports etc, a shooting pain starts from my thumb till my mid foot area and a bulge appears there. RICE method helps a little but is this a permanent solution everytime since it's recurring? Do I need to consult a doctor? If yes, which specialist? Bone or nerves?
I have shoulder pain for last five months. I took a MRI. It said the following.
Supraspinatus tendinosis without evidence of tear.
Mild acromioclavicular joint arthropathy.
Minimal subacromial–subdeltoid bursitis.
MRI of neck is normal.
I have not had any significant pain relief yet. Pain is still same.
My doubt is - How long is the mri taken in Jan 2026 valid for ? There has not been any injuries or falls after that. For my condition , for how long should I consider this mri valid ?
