Shoulder tendonitis: This could be a symptom of a rotator cuff ( shoulder tendon) problem. A through examination with an orthopedist or rehab doctor would be best to properly identify the cause.

Evaluation: If you have tried conservative treatments, ie ice or heat, acetominophen, asa, Ibuprofen or Naproxen without relief have it looked at.
