Any Suggestion For Suffering From Severe Calcification?
Hi, I was referred to an Orthopedic Surgeon when I was 12 for severe shoulder pain. I had an MRI and results came back that I have calcification and Tendernitious. I am now 19 and I again have severe shoulder pain and just had an ultrasound which indicated that the Calcification has gotten worse. I was wondering if I should have been referred to the Orthopedic Surgeon back then, and if so, if there is anything that an Orthopedic Surgeon can do for this?

this is most probably acute on chronic calcific tendinitis, now its in active stage you should do rest, physical therapy, non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs for 2 weeks, this will last for 4-6 weeks,
if no benefit you can do excise the calcification either arthroscopically or open surgery.
