No: Shoulder tendinitis is a vague diagnosis.  Shoulder pain in young people  can be related to many different things such as shoulder instability, biceps tendinosis, rotator cuff tendinosis or tears and slap lesions.  While shoulder tendinitis in young people generally resolves with conservative care it can also progress and worsen depending on the actual diagnosis.

Accepted Answer

1-3weeks: Usually resolves within 3 weeks with rest, ice, bracing etc. If no resolution of pain, see your doctor.

Question 4

i was wondering how i could heal tendonitis quickly?

Accepted Answer

Tendonitis Quick Fix: Usually step #3 or 4 is corticosteroid injection into the tendon sheath. If its urgent or really painful you may want to go directly to a steroid shot (but not for achilles tendonitis where rupture is always of concern). If injected, then protection is even more important such as splinting, if possible - can't do that easily for a shoulder. Follow-up in 10-14 days. An imaging study may be needed.
