Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
If pain and inflammation appear in a tendon without a clear injury to explain it, it is worth investigating. Calcific tendinitis is the buildup of calcium deposits within or around a tendon, most often in the shoulder, which causes inflammation and discomfort.
Frequent symptoms: pain that can be intense, stiffness, and limitation in moving the affected joint, especially when raising the arm.
Common causes: its origin is not always known, but it is associated with tendon wear and with repetitive use.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist evaluates this condition, and the general practitioner can guide the first contact. If pain persists or limits your activities, the advisable thing is to seek a professional evaluation.
