Calcific tendonitis is usually very painful. Steroid injections can help but in my experience with this condition you need to disrupt the calcium deposit with the needle when you give the injection. Anti-inflammatory medication and physiotherapy can also be of benefit. Has an orthopaedic surgeon been giving you the injections?
