Rotator Cuff Tendinitis
Alternate Names : Supraspinatus Tendinitis, Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
How is the injury recognized?
The healthcare provider will want to know when the pain occurs, and if anything helps the pain. Based on the medical history and physical exam, the provider may order a number of tests, such as:
joint x-ray
MRI
arthrogram or an arthroscopy, in which a small fiberoptic tube is inserted into the shoulder to allow the doctor to see inside the joint
blood tests, including a complete blood count or CBC, to check for infection
biopsy of any fluid near the rotator cuff
