Calcified cuff: Calcific tendonitis is an unusual stage of rotator cuff tendoninopathy in which the chronic inflammation actually begins to calcify the tendon first with a milky chalky fluid but later in can turn into harder bone like calcifications. First treatment is usually anti-inflammatory medications but surgical decompression may also help.
