It was this procedure he thought they might have to do if it didn’t resolve on it’s own:
“The most common and successful treatment for patients with calcific tendinosis is to use a needle to either suck the calcium out, called 'barbotage', or break the calcium up using 'dry needling'. This is carried out by a consultant radiologist using ultrasound to guide the needle into the calcium.” For me, it was using a branch trimmer like this that caused the bursitis. I was cutting up branches non-stop for a couple of hours. The clipping motion and the force I needed for the larger branches probably was the cause. I woke up the next day unable to lift my arm: https://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-Garde...4006042&sr=8-5 The calcific tendinitis was out of the blue for me. The OS said it could have been an injury or overuse that caused the calcium deposits. Good luck! I hope you get relief from your pain. Let us know how you do.

now I have all kinds of unrelated questions, lol. I have calcium deposits everywhere in my body. Or calcification as they call it, but I never thought of it being due to over use. That makes sense in the ankle one. There are some near organs too tho, maybe its a protective strategy of the body from something (I always think this as I get a lot of cysts too, lol). my hubby has them in feet and knees. (he busted a bursa in 1 knee as well, and I had no idea you could do that). I have to laugh, my husband just recently got me a trimmer almost just like that!! I have very lightly use it when able, mainly to clear my walking path), but unable to use it much right now. But I feel like a toughie when I do just because i don't know what to do with myself outdoors. Thankyou so much for all the info! I hope more chime in explaining the different issues.

Thank you, Jenilu!
It's a weird thing to wake up one day and just no longer have the ability to do (function) like you once did before injury. Everyone takes things for granted until you can't do what you once did. With frozen shoulder, the muscles, tendons, and joints are just locked up and stiff. You have to take baby steps, just getting back to normal. I also could have had cortisone injections, but did not do that. I've also had Bell's Palsy for just over two years, which is nerve damage that affects facial functions (smiling, eyes, smell, taste, hearing.) It is said that this is brought on by high stress or that sometimes it just happens out of the blue, for no apparent reason. The most challenging (in the beginning) was having to tape my eyelid shut at night) because at first your eye doesn't close. You have to put goop in your eye each night so it doesn't dry out and use special eye drops. I also did some massaging of facial muscles, but wasn't as consistent with this. Today, my smile is at about 65-70 percent there. But (like frozen shoulder) my face doesn't have the movement that it had before, either. With Bell's it really takes a toll mentally, when you aren't able to smile at someone. With the pandemic, I could hide behind a mask and no one knew I had any issues.

Some time back I realized my shoulders were consistently achy, and my range of motion seemed less than it should be.
Generally speaking, I've found that using light clubs for a while seemed to help bring strength to my shoulders in a way that seems to have been lacking before. A video on Youtube by Dr. Ben Kim was simple enough that I could do it every day, and the gentle consistency was a help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAo82Q7KTCk FYI, I find my clubs easier to hold now that I've added some of that elastic-y stick to itself tape that removes easily. Increasing the diameter of the clubs just a little helped a lot.

Pam, oh my heart is with you!! That positivity is awesome!! I am way too expressive - enough that boys and hubby have said "ok, just don't give me the look!!"
Bunnyhop, did you ever specifically find out what was wrong? I am finding that there are so many different possiblities and they each seem to have a different need (even rotator cuff issues can be confused with it). I am gonna look into the clubs. I have never used any. Is there some kind of sbsitute you can use when trying out the technique? Bless y'all and have a beautiful night. Headed to get my block in the morning. Thank y'all!!
