I came in for a right glenohumeral para label cyst that was identified on a full body MRI. My research tells me that these cannot be identified by an x-ray, which is what was done. My research also says that a para labral cyst is almost always a. check engine light for a secondary sign of an underlying tear. There was no mention of this by the doctor although this is what I had told them I was coming in for when I made the appointment.
