prior shoulder injury? irad if you have a chest xray for example, does a doctor review it or the radiographer? or if the radiographer picks up on something wrong, then is it passed along to a doctor?? radiologists read the films debbie, its a no no to tell the patient anything as far as the xray techs go. i know the radiographer cant give results. so if the xray is adnormal is it passed onto a doctor straight away?? when ive been in accident and emergency ive had results in 10 mins.

Anti inflammatories for now, maybe try some range of motion exercises and i agree with ella a shoulder scope to go in and clean it out. But, how does one know if he may need antiobiotics for the inflammation without seeing a Dr.? What are the odds that he may need them?

No prior injury but if it makes any differance I have worked a paint gun for nearly 28 years with that arm. Debbie, they took blood about 10 times from me for tests I would think they would have said something if to much calcium. i didnt say that, i just asked if you had calcium in the blood, i didnt say they wouldnt have told you.

It depends if it is outpt. in-pt., or ER. Each varies with time.

What are the odds that he may need them? well he should a doctor regardless, none of us are doctors, and more importantly none of us are doctors that specialize in this field. hi debbie

Last summer some x-rays found a calcium deposit near my armpit. The surgeon said if it grew any that it would have to come out. I can't really feel it by touch but once in a while after I wake up there is a little ache. Wouldn't ya know it, now I don't have the insurance I did then. So my question is: What if that goes untreated? calcium deposits are not dangerous only painful

If you leave it alone too long, it could turn into serious problems later on! If I were you, I'd have it taken care of!

Look, this is really quite simple. You will start growing teeth under your armpits.
