Similar but different. Frozen shoulder is inflammation of the shoulder capsule. Calcific tendinitis is a build up of calcium crystals in the rotator cuff. Both are intensely painful but CT has a sudden onset and in painful at rest while FS is a slow build of time and is less painful when resting. We’re getting a crash course in CT; fortunately Stacy got a good PT and that seems to be helping. It’s all about PT & NSAIDs for her now. She just got back to where she can play the piano with both hands again today, so that’s some improvement.
