Calcified Tendonitis

[queenofmean]

I have this on my right shoulder, been diagnosed, tried physio and it hasn’t helped. I know there are other things that can be tried too. Going to be seen later at the GP - going to have to start again as this was all started at my last practice.

But I had a VERY bad flare up yesterday and I was told it could be a sign of the Calcium being reabsorbed? Is this possible? If so why does it hurt so much that I cannot use my arm AND is it a concern?

Also my arm became swollen that isn’t normal is it?

I call this rotator cuff disorder....an old term, but i will accept Calcified Tendonitis as a recognised disorder.
Yes, the calcium can be reabsorbed but this is not common and i doubt whether it has anything to do with your flare-up.
Yes, a swollen arm is not uncommon with this disorder....no big deal.

The GP may suggest an injection of a steroid.

P.S I am watching cricket.

Thank you Sqad.

Late Mum had it too, she had several steroid injections and a guided one with ultrasound.

Thank you again Sqad :)
