MRI is actually not "clear" at all most of the time. People should be more aware of this IMO. Both my wife and I were mis-diagnosed due to this, both with conditions for which it is impossible to spontaneously resolve. Mine required surgery with a 6 month typical recovery (which I declined), and would reduce my shoulder mobility permanently. My wife was told she would be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life in a few years due to an incurable spinal cord issue. We took the news pretty hard. I put my career on hold for a while, and we tried (and failed) to figure out how to live with this diagnosis, reading probably the entirety of scientific literature that exists on the topic and finding no reassurance. Six months later we got another MRI for her, which showed no "abnormality" and nothing to be concerned about. And my "issue" resolved on its own in a few months as well, although I did not get another MRI - shit's expensive. The funny thing is, if the diagnosis was correct (SLAP tear in the shoulder, if you must know), such things do not resolve on their own. So if someone tells you "you're gonna die" after looking at a blurry as fuck MRI, go get another MRI at a minimum, and seek a second or even third opinion before you take any of it seriously.
