See details: It depends what the examination and MRI of the shoulder show. A pure tendinitis often responds to NSAIDs, physical therapy and possibly cortisone injections.

This depends ..: You need to make sure you have a formal evaluation by a medical professional, ideally an orthopedic surgeon to make sure this is no concerning weakness, nerve compromise or suggestion of dislocation or bony compromise. If it really is just a case of rotator cuff tendinopthy and impingement then you may benefit from physical therapy and a possible steroid injection. Surgery is a last option!
