How Long Does Calcific Tendonitis Take To Heal?

Hi, I am suffering from calcific tendonitis for both the shoulders. X-Ray reports had shown it in both shoulders but First it started with right shoulder in Jan 2017. Cortizone injection did not help so I went for physiotherapy. It is healed 90% but I still cant sleep on side and I am side slipper so I sleep on recliner instead. Since 2 days I have pain in left shoulder as well. Started physio for left one now. How soon I can cure this?

Dear patient
calcific tendinitis takes longer time to heal and improvements continues even after one year. Mainline of treatment is physiotherapy as it resolves in most cases. in acute cases local injection of corticosteroids definitely helps. If your left shoulder has started paining may be due to calcific tendinitis. Start physiotherapy and consult expert orthopedic surgeon nearby you. Meanwhile you can take tab ultracet twice a day for pain relief.
