I have supraspinatus tendinopathy on my shoulder with an under surface tear distally can anyone explain this?

---

The supraspinatus rotates your arm up and backwards.

If you hold your arm out to the side, bend your elbow at 90 degress so its pointing forwards and lift your hand so that it now is pointing up, the prime mover is your supraspinatus.

Distal refers to the section of the tendon that is furthest from your midline (as apposed to proximal = closer to your midline)

Supraspinatus Muscle is orientated in the top of your shoulderblade, it attaches to your shoulder near the head of your Humerus (long bone of your upper arm.) The Tendon is the non contracting section of the muscle.

Think of the the muscles as a motor and the tendon as the cable that attaches the muscle to the bone.

See a Physiotherapist (physical therapist) and then an Osteotherapist to address the skeletal position that is causing this condition. Look at why it is happening and work back from there.

Good luck  (+ info)

What is supraspinatus tendinopathy?

---

Supraspinatus tendonitis is often associated with shoulder impingement syndrome. The common belief is that impingement of the supraspinatus tendon leads to supraspinatus tendonitis (inflammation of the supraspinatus/rotator cuff tendon and/or the contiguous peritendinous soft tissues), which is a known stage of shoulder impingement syndrome (stage II) as described originally by Neer in 1972.

The causes of supraspinatus tendonitis can be broken down into extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Extrinsic factors are further broken down into primary impingement, which is a result of increased subacromial loading, and secondary impingement, which is a result of rotator cuff overload and muscle imbalance. In athletes whose sport involves stressful repetitive overhead motions, a combination of causes may be found.

I need a long term diagnosis of achilles tendinopathy?

---

Im affraid you have to be seen by your g,p who will refer you for imaging and if your imaging does show something they will refer you to a consultant at a hospital im affraid its not a fast process so see your g.p asap if you do need to see a consultant you could be waiting 12 weeks or more as waiting lists are long.
good luck

has anyone ever had high hamstring tendinopathy?

---

and if you did what did u do to cure it i am currently getting proltherapy injections plz help if you ever had high hamstring tendinopathy
A long distance runner was treated with a therapeutic corticosteroid injection performed with ultrasound guidance just distal to the ischial attachment of the affected hamstring muscle. After the injection, she no longer had pain at rest and began a progressive hamstring flexibility and soft-tissue mobilization program. Muscle energy techniques were also used to normalize her right anterior innominate hip rotation. In the following 3 months, she progressed through an eccentric hamstring and core-strengthening program. Three months after starting treatment, she gradually resumed her running program, and 6 months after diagnosis, she was able to return to elite racing without pain.

It sounds like a long and difficult recovery to me.

Good luck!  (+ info)

Is it time to strength exercise my injured shoulder?

---

I was diagnosed with supraspinatus tendinopathy in my shoulder a couple weeks back, and it's been about 3 weeks and i still feel a very slight pain in my shoulder.

My girlfriend says its because i haven't stetched out my shoulder recently, and that i should start strength training.
Should i be starting to do shoulder exercises even though there is a slight irritation in that area still? Or can I just rest it completely until pain goes away?

Did cortisone injection hurt my supraspinatus tendinopathy?

---

I fell on an oustretched hand while carrying my bike up three steps in Sept. 2006. I was in some intense pain for a month or so. Got an Xray at the time. It was normal. I was still in pain and had to stop biking and could no longer lift groceries or carry bag with my rt arm. In 2007 I started getting massages for the shoulder and was able to bike again for most of the summer. Then in Nov. 2007 my shoulder flared up again and I had to stop biking (too jarring on the shoulder). In Dec. 2007 had an MRI which showed supraspinatus tendinopathy. I went to PT in January 2008 to learn exercises to strengthen shoulder. Was able to perform the exrcises and stretches for Feb- April. Still couldn't lifet things with my right arm (carry a bag of groceries) but I had full range of motion the entire time since injury and pain was low. At end of May went back for check up. The Dr. suggested I needed more one on one PT to increase my strength. He also offered a cortison shot (Kenalog 40). I was in some pain at the time, probably didn't think it through and accepted the shot. He said to not perform my exercises for a few days. I took a few bike rides and tried some stretching a week later after the shot and I woke up one day in intense pain thathas been getting worse the last 7 weeks. Am waiting for the doctor to call me back. Now, my pain is intense and constant, am wearing a sling because it hurts to move my shoulder. Did I make a mistake accepting the cortisone. All this intense pain was after the shot...almost 2 months. Could the steroid worsen, weaken or degenerate a supraspinatus tendinopathy even more. am scared now and feel like the cortisone was a HUGE mistake as I had pain-free range of motion and was able to do my home PT exercises before this...Any thoughts.Will this ever resolve

Cortisone shots have there uses. Steroids can cause problems with too much use because they can decrease the strength of tissues. That's why they usually limit the use to three shots. You'll want to contact your doctor again. You could of just had a reaction to the shot.

I am more interested in your MRI diagnosis of Tendonopathy. It really doesn't tell me much about what your real problem is.

good luck!  (+ info)
