Overview
Calcific tendonitis is a painful condition characterized by the buildup of calcium deposits in the tendons, typically in the shoulder. This can lead to inflammation and discomfort, often limiting the range of motion and daily activities.
Symptoms
The primary symptoms of calcific tendonitis include sudden and intense shoulder pain, stiffness, and a reduced range of motion. The pain may worsen with movement and can sometimes be severe enough to disrupt sleep.

Diagnosis & Treatment Options
Diagnosis is made through physical examination and imaging techniques like X-rays or ultrasound, which reveal calcium deposits in the tendons. Treatment options range from conservative approaches, such as rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications, to more advanced methods like physical therapy, shockwave therapy, or ultrasound-guided needle aspiration. In severe cases, surgical removal of the deposits may be necessary.
