Tendinitis Discussions
I was just diagnosed with Calcitic Tendinitis. Its a really painful condition in the shoulder where calcium builds up over time and affects the rotator cuff in the shoulder. It's EXTREMELY painful and really, there's not much I can do with my right hand at this movement. Does anyone have any stories to share about this condition? It would be great to have some feedback and know that I'm not alone in this.

What is Tendinitis?
Also called: Tendonitis
Tendons are the tough cords of tissue that attach muscles to bones. They help your muscles move your bones. Tendinitis means inflammation of a tendon. It causes pain and tenderness near a joint. It usually occurs in the shoulders, elbows, knees, hips, heels or wrists. Depending on where it happens, it may have a special name, such as tennis elbow. Injuries and overuse are common causes of tendinitis. Cross-training, stretching and decreasing your intensity when you exercise might help prevent tendinitis. Certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, also can cause it. You can usually treat tendinitis with rest, ice and medicine to relieve pain and decrease swelling. Other treatments include ultrasound, physical therapy, steroid injections and surgery.
