Tips For Living With Calcific Tendinopathy?

[LittleSquidge]

It is in my left shoulder.

I have Tramadol, but it’s bitter-sweet as they’re addictive, and have side effects.

I have reduced movement and chronic pain. Not looking for “mesical advice” as I’m currently awaiting a hospital referral for treatment.

Anyone had calficic tendinitis/tendinopathy and have some awesome tips to ease the pain etc?

I would try a pain reducing anti-inflammatory cream

My friend (rheumatoid arthritis) says anything Tramadol can do, can be treated with CBD. I'm not sure how true he is on that one as tramadol is a powerful opiate and CBD is a non psychoactive canabinoid but it must be worth a shot?

Do some research into it.

Thank you, spathiphyllum!

Have you asked your GP about the possibility of steroid injections?

Thanks, Buenchico.

Steroid injections may be the next step by the specialist, but that’s still a waiting game. I was hoping others may have tips for sleeping or every day life in the meantime.
