FAQs

Rotator cuff tendinitis, also known as rotator cuff tendonitis, is an inflammation of the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles, which can cause pain and restricted movement in the shoulder.

Common symptoms include pain and tenderness in the shoulder, especially when reaching overhead or behind the back, swelling, and limited range of motion.

Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination to assess pain and mobility, along with imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI to view the condition of the rotator cuff tendons.

Yes, if left untreated, rotator cuff tendinitis can lead to worsening pain, increased stiffness, and potentially more severe conditions like rotator cuff tears.

Activities that involve repetitive overhead motions or heavy lifting should be avoided to prevent aggravating the tendinitis. It's important to modify activities to allow the shoulder to heal.
