Rotator Cuff Tendon
itis Rotator cuff tendonitis is a painful condition caused by inflammation of the tendons that connect the shoulder muscles to the bones. It commonly occurs in people who lift heavy weights repetitively and can cause sharp pain in the shoulder area. Symptoms may include weakness in the shoulder, pain when lifting or pushing objects, swelling, and difficulty performing activities of daily living. Treatments for rotator cuff tendonitis can include rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases, surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential for preventing long-term damage and restoring the full range of motion to the shoulder joint. The timely management of rotator cuff tendonitis can help avoid long-term disability or the need for surgery.
