How Long It Takes To Recover From Surgery On Calcific Tendonitis?
I am possibly going to be forced to have surgery on my calcific tendonitis. I am in alot of pain. What kind of recovery time could I have? I am a teacher and was wanting to schedule it for the winter break, but the pain is almost too much to bear. I am losing sleep nightly.

Hello,
Surgery for calcific tendinitis is a key hole surgery and will take about 6weeks to recover completely.
Your physical therapist will help you in regaining your range and strength back during this period.
Post 6weeks you can join your work but complete recovery (doing heavy activities)might take around 3 months depending upon your prognosis.
Hope this answers your question
thank you
