What Are The Chances Of Occurrence Of Calcium Deposits Again On Shoulder?

Brief Answer:
They can recur
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Yes, the deposits are due to degenerative changes and so they are likely to occur again, though not necessarily at the same place.
Physical therapy and muscle strengthening exercises form the primary mode of treatment. Hot compress and ultrasound therapy would provide relief.
Hope that helps.
