Wear ; tear of the -: End part of the supraspinatus tendon (sst) due to minor repetitive traumas to the shoulder over years ; years. These are the earlier stages before a tear occurs. Treatment is nsaids, steroids, pt for strengthening exercises, etc. If no improvement then further options like a scope surgery might be needed. See your local orthopod. Good luck.

Platelet rich plasma: You could be candidate for stem cell therapy using platelet rich plasma/bone marrow aspirate injections. Please speak with a sports medicine doctor that perfumes this to consider your options. The downside is that medical insurance does not cover this type of treatment so it can be costly.
