Not true.: If you truly have calcific tendinitis the area can be successfully injected under ultrasound guidance. Find an orthopedist or rheumatologist who uses ultrasound.

Calcific tendinitis, was my diagnoses a month after weeks of pain and loss of mobility. After physicaltherapy etc it's still painful and I can't lift my arm past a certain point (undressing is a nightmare). Is it normal or can it be something else?
