MRI actually needs to be specific in some cases since it take slices of images. Hip MRI showed gluteal tendinopathy as well as minor tear. Now, tendonitis in knees, shoulder blades, shoulders, neck, jaw, ankles, hips and low back. I do hear menopause can have an effect on tendons. I wish someone would start doing some research into this as it seems way too many women are being shuffled off with It's just something you have to live with, or let's put you on all kinds of meds and injections that are detrimental to your body in the long run.
