Varies: An MRI is a good structural test, but it does not show things that are not structural; inflammation is a good example of this and is not always picked up on an MRI. Subscapular bursitis and a pinched nerve are among the more common causes of pain in that area that do not always show up on an MRI of the shoulder.
