A member asked:
How should i treat a shoulder tendonitis and inflammation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest: Initially resting the shoulder, using ice, and taking a short course of anti-inflammatory can help. Once the pain is better you will want to gradually increase your range of motion. If your pain lasts greater than 2 weeks see your physician as there may be other treatment options including therapy and injections.
