How Do I Know if I have Shoulder Tendonitis?
Common shoulder tendonitis symptoms include light pain in the shoulder while at active and at rest, sudden and sharp pain when lifting or extending your arm, and local swelling. If the tendonitis is allowed to progress there will be an increase in pain, loss of strength and a reduction in the shoulder range of motion.

What is the Right Treatment for Me?
Early stage shoulder tendonitis treatment includes rest, anti-inflammatory medications, and ice and heat treatment. If this is not effective, physical therapy will be introduced into the treatment plan with a focus on range of motion exercises. Steroid injections may also be considered to relieve inflammation in the shoulder. Only once conservative treatments have been exhausted should surgery be considered.
