Tendenitis and bone cyst
What is the treatment for a bone cyst in the shoulder and tendenitis in the same location?
This was diagnosed through an MRI.

Thank you for your help and great advice. I will check in again upon seeing an Orhopedic Surgeon for more details.
Again Thanks!

Hi
The treatment depends on the location of the bone cyst and whether it will make the bone vulnerable for fracture.
“Nonsurgical Treatment
A unicameral bone cyst without pain or other symptoms that the doctor discovers when evaluating another problem can be watched with repeated X-rays and doctor examinations.
Surgical Treatment
Surgery may be needed if the cyst is in a location that might cause the bone to break. Only unicameral bone cysts at risk of a pathologic fracture need treatment. If the unicameral bone cyst is painful, growing larger, or in a location that may fracture, the doctor may treat it by draining the cyst (aspiration) and injecting it with a steroid or with demineralized bone from the bone bank, supplemented occasionally with bone marrow from the person's pelvis. This method of treatment may require more than one aspiration/injection.
A unicameral bone cyst in a structurally compromising location may need surgery including scraping the inside of the bone (curettage). The hole left following this may require donor bone or a bone graft substitute to fill the defect.
Pathologic fractures occasionally incite a healing process. Depending on the size and location of the cyst, treatment with an internal fixation device may also be needed.”(Refer: http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=A00081)
Again tendinitis can be treated with rest, anti inflammatory medicines and exercise. However if the shoulder movement is restricted a lot, and there is no improvement with conservative treatment then an arthroscopic surgery of the joint is planned.
In your case depending on all the above features treatment will be planned. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining and seeing your MRI. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted.
