Do you suffer from Shoulder Tendonitis, Bursitis, or Impingement?
Shoulder tendinitis, shoulder bursitis, and impingement are all closely linked.
Tendonitis is the inflammation of a tendon. In the shoulder, tendinitis usually affects the tendons of the biceps or rotator cuff as a result of pinching from surrounding structures.
When tendinitis affects the rotator cuff, the inflamed tendon may swell and get trapped beneath the acromion, making shoulder movement extremely uncomfortable. This is called shoulder impingement.
Bursitis is inflammation of the bursae. The bursae are fluid-filled sacs found next to tendons or large joints. They are used to make movement easier, inflammation often occurring in conjunction with tendonitis.

Comments on Do you suffer from Shoulder Tendonitis, Bursitis, or Impingement?
Very dull ache on inside of left shoulder, upper bicep and inner armpit area after a fall. Can't raise arm above head or extend out straight from body without pain. No visible swelling or bruising around any of these areas. No cracking or popping sounds. Shoulder is moveable (not frozen) and does not really hurt except when trying to lift arm as mentioned. Any thoughts?
