A member asked:
I have extreme pain in my left shoulder when i do certain movements, like lifting my arm to look at my watch. a sonar showed calcification. how do i proceed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tendonitis: I feel calcific tendonitis or bursitis of the shoulder is the problem. I recommend applying alternating cold and semihot applications and taking anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen for a week. If no improvement, consult an orthopedic specialist for evaluation and treatment options which may include a corticosteroid injection into the trigger point of the shoulder pain.
