Shoulder Impingement Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Tendinitis
Tendinitis is a condition where the patients tendons become inflamed. Tendinitis can occur in pretty much any tendon in the body, including those in the rotator cuff. This would lead to a number of symptoms that are similar to a shoulder impingement, but the symptoms are likely to be more severe.
A shoulder impingement can lead to tendinitis in the rotator cuff in some cases. Treatment will generally involve taking anti-inflammatories to help reduce the inflammation of the tendon. Surgery is not usually necessary and is usually used as a last resort, but it will be used in some of the more extreme cases.
