A member asked:
What does small irregularity at supraspinatus tendon mean and what could cause it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tear, most likely: You could have a tear or calcium deposit in the tendon. It happens due to stress the muscle undergoes as you raise and lower your arm especially if you lift something heavy or do a repetitive job where lifting is constant.
