Should i go to er for shoulder tendonitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: That is not what the er is for. See an orthopaedic surgeon, get a true diagnosis. You will get therapy and anti inflammatories and possibly an injection if it's real bad to start. Takes weeks to months to improve generally.
