Calcific shoulder tendinopathy

Calcific shoulder tendinopathy occurs when calcium deposits form within a shoulder tendon, usually in the rotator cuff. This can lead to intense pain, limited motion, and inflammation, sometimes with sudden flare-ups. The condition may significantly affect sleep, dressing, lifting, and overhead movement.
