Diagnostic Studies
shoulder films form today including Grashe view, supraspinatus outlet view, axillary view and Zanca views were personally evaluated by me and demonstrate:
Acromion: type II 
Acromioclavicular Joint: mild acromioclavicular joint space narrowing with hypertrophic changes in the distal clavicle. 
Glenohumeral joint: the joint space is relatively well preserved
Acromiohumeral interval is greater than 7mm 
Scapulohumeral line is intact.  
Greater tuberosity: mild sclerotic changes 

Assessment

We discussed the natural history and both operative and non-operative treatment options.  We discussed the risks, benefits and expected rehabilitative course of all alternate, viable medical modes of treatment, including further diagnosis, both operative and non-operative treatments as well as no further treatment.  All questions were answered.  Available links to further peer-reviewed written information on the diagnosis were provided.

No night pain. no history of immunosuppressive medications. No cancer history. No other joint involvement.

Assessment
Plan
We discussed the natural history and both operative and non-operative treatment options.  We discussed the risks, benefits and expected rehabilitative course of all alternate, viable medical modes of treatment, including further diagnosis, both operative and non-operative treatments as well as no further treatment.  All questions were answered.    We will begin with a course of formal phyiscal theray as well as nsaids and activity modificaitons.  They will follow upin 4-6 weeks for continued care.
