A member asked:

Rotator cuff tendonitis diagnosis, what can i expect going forward?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Depends which component of the rotator cuff affected. If limited, specific therapy for that tendon may help. Physical therapy important in management, as well as avoidance of causative activities. Sometimes needs surgery.
