Need Treatment For Rotator Cuff Tendinitis.

Think I have rotator cuff tendinitis. Live in Indiana, close to Terre Haute, is there a Dr. nearby? Have had this back shoulder pain for almost 3 wks. Been taking Ibuprofen & heating pad. Also used Salonpas, but it only helps for a few mins. Really need help. Thanks.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
hi shoulder cuff tendinitis does not cause back shoulder pain- it will cause pain in the shoulder and limitation of shoulder movements. For your pain which appears to be due to cervical spondylosis I would suggest you take pain killers . muscle relaxants and physiotherapy( IFT + Isometric neck Exercises). If there is no relief in 10 days then go for X rays.
