A member asked:
Long history with tendonitis. wrists, elbows, shoulders, hip, and ankles affected. calcified in both rotator cuffs. can there be a global cause?

Possibly endocrine: Calcific Tendonitis of the shoulders is more typically seen in a person > 50 years old. Under the age of 50 I would consider checking for a condition called hyperparathyroidism by checking a blood calcium level. In addition, certain kidney conditions are associated with Calcific Tendonitis but usually the person is on dialysis due to kidney failure.

Sometimes, statins and fluoroquinolone antibiotics can cause tendinitis or tendon rupture.
