A member asked:

How do i manage during recovery from rotator cuff tendonitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Patience: Icing and rest with appropriate physical therapy may just be fine without having to take medications. It is important to do rotator cuff exercises and range of motion exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff at the appropriate time.
