Shoulder pain from calcific tendonitis

[Just concerned]

Has anyone developed a calcific tendonitis in the shoulder?  If so, what have you been able to find that helps with the pain?  Has anyone had surgery or ultrasound for it and what were the results?  I have been having so much pain with this and have not been able to find any treatment for it.  I am scared to have the surgery as I hear it may not change things and I may just have to live with this pain as it is now chronic.  Any advice??

Greetings, I have closely watched this thread ever since I am suffering from this problem of Calcific tendinitis. It has been increasingly affecting my life. My stones seem big like 21mm and 22mm on each shoulders. I did one ultrasound with a seattle top sports med specialist. He already declared this will be done on experimental basis for me and of course was not successful. I saw Josie and Trailgord's referal to Inland Imaging. I am planning to give it a shot.

Meantime, if you have few mins, I have other questions ::
1)Is there any other specialist in SEA and east side who can help in ultrasound lavage ? - alancharles - Did you also get it done through inland imaging ? I have a small kid and just want to try getting it done within SEA and not travel long distance. But I would take as far I can to get this resolved.
2)In case of no success with ultrasound, have you tried anything else like shock wave therapy ? any referrals if so ?
3)Any one tried multiple ultrasounds  and successful ?
4)If nothing works, anyone did surgery ? referrals ?
5)Is there any positive hope at all.

Will really appreciate if I do see some replies.
thanks much

Is there anyone who has succeeded in treating calcific tendonitis with non surgical options. My stones are way too big and I am looking for a referral

I have 2 tears and calcific tendonitis in my right shoulder. I whacked my wrist in december and since then the pain has slowly gone back up to my shoulder. Could my shoulder calcification's make the pain radiate down to my forearm as well? I saw my doc yesterday and they just did xrays of shoulder and since the last cortisone shot in August he said it looked better yet i can barely sleep at night the pain is soo bad.
