Re: What does this mean?
Just saw the Consultant this morning and found out I have an Impingement (?) a torn tendon and calcified lumps. He mentioned day surgery and having to screw some part of something against something else, but I was just in a trance. I have asked for a copy of the letter though.
What is an impingement? Cheers Nick

Re: What does this mean?
Hi - what it sounds like - something pinching (impinging) on something else.
In your case, it sounds chronic, the bone has developed in your shoulder in response to the stress on the injury and it is rubbing the rotator cuff. As Physiobob has said, read the link provided... As for the operation, the surgeon will remove the offending bone, sew up the holes etc. You will be looking at 3-6 months without normal use of your arm and getting to know your physio well! Good luck
