Accepted Answer

It's : It's difficult to be sure how your particular condition developed. Fai is associated with cartilage damage, labral tears, early hip arthritis, hyperlaxity, sports hernias, and low back pain.  Fai is common in athletes, but also occurs in active individuals.  Since you've been diagnosed, you're likely aware of your treatment options.  I would make sure that your orthopedic doctor has experience in treating fai.  Good luck!

Question 9

someone grabbed/squeezed my shoulders hard the acromion and humeral head i think, could this make the bone smaller?

Accepted Answer

No: Someone grabbing you would not make the bone smaller.
Any temporary decrease in size would just be soft tissue.
If you're concerned about possible fractures, I'd get an x-ray for peace of mind.

Question 10

what is a enthesopathic fibrocystic foci on the posterior of the humeral head (associated with lots of pain in my shoulder)?

Accepted Answer

Humeral Cysts: Cystic changes are seen in the head of the humerus on MRI scan of the mature shoulder in the bone marrow of the greater tuberosity where the rotator cuff tendons insert. In medicine, an enthesopathy refers to any disorder involving the attachment of a tendon or ligament to a bone called an enthesis. When inflamed it is called enthesitis. By age 50 partial tears of the RCT are seen on many MRI's.
