A member asked:
Calcific tendonitis measuring 4x1 mm involving the olecranon insertional fibers of tricep tendons. will this heal? risks? advice? treatment? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: When a tendon has chronic or multiple of episodes of inflammation and/or injury, calcifications can develop. At 4x1 mm they are extremely small. They don't really heal. One way to look it is they are really just a symptom of of chronically irritated tendon. Treatment involves addressing the cause of the tendinitis.
