Rotator Cuff Tendonitis – Symptoms, Causes, Treatments

Shoulder Issues

Rotator cuff tendonitis is often a result of repetitive shoulder movements, such as lifting overhead or reaching something from a high position. Therefore, some common symptoms include shoulder stiffness, pain when lowering or raising the arm, tenderness, swelling, or even a clicking noise when moving the shoulder. They tend to be mild at first and become worse over time as the condition progresses. Some advanced signs include trouble reaching behind the back, loss of shoulder mobility and strength, as well as pain during the night. [2]
