When to Begin Treating Mature Cacific Tendonitis
Have you recently been diagnosed with calcific tendonitis and your wonder what it is? In simple terms, it means you suffer from a frozen shoulder caused by bone deposits. However, the reason anyone has bone deposits is something that have puzzled doctors for many years.
Wearing a cast for an extended period because of broken bones, overuse, toting an overly heavy purse and strong arm cleaning may be some of the causes of this condition. Diabetic women over 40 years of age are those who most often suffer from this condition.
You symptoms may have been discovered upon trying to reach a glass in a high kitchen cupboard, or merely by trying to dress yourself or brushing or combing your hair. The pain usually increases at night as you seek to rest. You will first feel some pain, in performing some overhead activity, but as each day passes the pain will increase, followed by totally losing the range of motion of your shoulder, perhaps entirely, prior to your seeking medical help.
Many times, you can clear calcific tendonitis by following the recommendation of a physical therapist for slow deliberate exercises. You can regain your range of motion at home while doing these exercises, depending upon the severity of your condition. However, you may need to continue these exercises for many months.
However, if your condition is more severe you may need to attend a supervised rehabilitation program with physical therapy sessions by a physical therapist to ensure that you properly perform the exercises. However, these exercises can cause pain and you will need to work through this pain to succeed. These exercises will help to increase your muscle strength and endurance. They will also help to increase your flexibility while you perform the various stretching exercises.
Often resistance exercises are recommended. This may entail the use of dumbbells or rubber material that gives your shoulder resistance as you try to use it. Pilates exercises have often worked very well in "unfreezing" a shoulder.
NSAIDs or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs injections may also help to treat the condition successfully as well as taking physical therapy. Diagnostic ultrasonography may be necessary because of the accuracy that is required for these types of injections. Friction massages, heat and ice applications of even additional ultrasound treatments, may also be recommendable for relieving the condition of calcific tendonitis.
If physical therapy intensifies the condition rather than helping, you may also need more than therapy. In which case, surgery may be warranted to help improve the condition. However, uncommon, most surgeries will include arthroscopically surgeries. This type of surgery uses cameras inserted into small opening in the skin of the shoulders. If you do need this type of surgery, you will also take on some rigorous therapy for an extended period.
