A member asked:
If i played tennis for a few days in a row for an hour or so could i injure my rotator cuff could not having a lot of calcium make me more likely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any overhand sport-: -tennis, baseball pitchers, swimming, volley ball, all can lead to impingement and rotator cuff disease. @ Ur age most likely not, it would take a lot 2 injure it. if U already have calcium deposits in the cuff muscles, injury in overhand sports will cause impingement & pain.
