Suggest Treatment For Shoulder Tendonitis
Question: I have tendonitis of the shoulder. I slid down a short embankment a couple months ago and raised my arms to slow myself down. I started feeling discomfort a couple days after. I went to my chiropractor who said my shoulder was a little sore and that it was no big deal. I continued my normal exercise using light weights for a few weeks and did not see an improvement. I decided to stop weights and focus solely on stretching the muscle and exercises to strengthen the shoulder, all the time being very carful not to re-injure. I also applied arnica gel and ice daily.
While I am not in great pain, I am also bot seeing great improvement. I really want to get back to exercising normally again. Is it usually take months to get rid of tendonitis?

Detailed Answer:
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you to my virtual clinic HCM!
I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
I feel sorry for the pain and discomfort you have and the hindrance in your normal activities of life.
It was not good for weight lifting when you already had some problems going on with the shoulder. Even stretch exercises are not advised in such a case at least for the first 3 weeks or so. This duration depends upon the disease behavior and progression.
But no problem. Its never too late. We will start it over again with the treatment regimen approved and clinically proven over thousands of patients with such injuries to the shoulder girdle.
You need to give rest to the Rotator cuff of the shoulder to get rid of this inflammation and the fast recovery which you need. For that please use shoulder sling for 2 weeks only. It will help you get better fast and perfect.
Apply Bengay Ultrastretch ointment and massage gently. Then apply ThermaCare HeatWrap for shoulder and neck. It will dramatically quench your pain and inflammation and also increases the strength of the shoulder girdle by enhancing the blood supply and inducing the recovery in fast mode.
Take Ibuprofen after breakfast and Fioricet with Codeine after dinner for 12days (no dose skipping).
Take Multivitamin daily.
Plenty of fluid and proper rest at night is needed too.
Keep a balanced healthy diet.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns or doubts. I will be more than happy to get back to you in no time. If satisfied here, please give a generous five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
For any disease you have, a timely follow-up after sometime regarding the treatment efficacy and to see any need to change the treatment options is very necessary. Keep a follow up some days after this visit session ends.
Regards!
