Oh, wow! Thanks to everyone for all the information and advice. I changed from the Othopedic surgeon that my GP scheduled me with to another Ortho specialist that serves as a team physician for Baylor Unicersity. My appt is tomorrow afternoon. Just in case anyone has any insight they would like to share, I'm posting the MRI results. It sounds like Greek to me. Hopefully, it can be treated with rest and PT since it is a partial tear.

"There is a full-thickness tear of the anterior insertion of the supraspinatus tendon without evidence of retraction. Portions of the supraspinatus tendon are probably intact suggesting that this is an incomplete tear. The infra spinatus tendon appears intact. There is mild osteoarthritis of the acromioclavicular joint. There is a small amount of fluid in the subacromial sub deltoid bursa, probably on the basis of a rotator cuff tear. The glenoid labrum is not assessed without gadolinium. The morphology of the humeral head appears normal. The long head of the biceps tendon is situated normally in the biceps groove.

IMPRESSION: incomplete, full thickness, tear of the anterior supraspinatus component of the rotator cuff tendon."
