I have been plagued off and on for 14 months with a painful left trap muscle. My ART therapist says it may be sclerotogenous pain from a torn labrum? Has anyone ever heard of sclerotogenous pain? I'm a bit worried about the MRI too. Don't they sometimes miss small tears?
I believe an MRI can miss small tears of the labrum unless an arthrogram is performed at the same time. As for glucosamine, a recent NIH-funded trial demonstrated no significant benefit; I've quit taking it and haven't noticed a difference.
Gull:
I saw that study too. My recollection may be off, but wasn't it limited to
osteoarthritis?
I should probably know this, but an you tell me what an arthrogram is?
