@suzanne2 Yes, I had pain for about 6 weeks while the shoulder SLAP tear injury was healing. Raising my arm hurt and it felt like a sprain. It wasn't bad if I wasn't moving the joint. The inflammation that caused a frozen shoulder after a diagnostic MRI with a gadolinium injection in the joint was far worse and I had intense pain and the slight motion of my shoulder from breathing made it hurt all the time. I had to put that in a sling for about 2 and a half months, and then rehab a frozen shoulder. Moving it at all was out of the question. The MRI was done for shoulder instability, and just doing physical therapy without imaging would have been a better choice, but I listened to the doctor. It really was the injection that caused it; a standard MRI without any contrast material would have been fine.
