Don’t know if it’s relevant but I had severe shoulder pain that came on gradually, getting worse until I couldn’t move my arm – calcific tendonitis – the calcium builds up in the tendon and the pain is felt when the body reabsorbs it, which can take many months.
I had the calcium, which had the consistency of toothpaste, sucked out during ultrasound and was then injected with a corticosteroid.
Virtually pain-free immediately and completely within 24 hours, although it’s supposed to get worse for a couple of days.
Don’t know if it’s any help, just my experience.
Regards
Taff
