Calcific tendinis
I have had calcific tendinitis for the last few months now in my right shoulder. I had my shoulder x-rayed and results showed I have large calcific deposits on the supraspinatus tendon. I also have a large calcium deposit adjacent to the AC joint. My GP is referring me to an Orthopaedic specialist. I find it can be quite painful at night. I am on 50 mg of Difene twice daily. I also rub Etoflam gel on twice a day. Do you think barbotage/lavage will work to clear my condition or will I need arthroscopic surgery? Regarding the Difene I was prescribed to take it 3 times a day. Do you think I should take the recommended dose?
You may find extra pillows for propping your arm to help provide relief while sleeping. I read that it usually (eventually) clears up on its own (very much like frozen shoulder syndrome, whose typically course runs two years).
shoulderdoc.co.uk article 41 has an encouraging writeup by Ann Swannell who took the surgical route.

Any clue as to the likely cause?
