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.
