Bone spurs on shoulder tendons

Bone spurs on shoulder tendons

Bone spurs can occur naturally when bones deteriorate, break, or fracture. The body uses calcium to repair the bone and causes the bone to develop an unnatural calcium called bone spurs, which can occur in any bone in the body.

Causes of rotator cuff tendonitis

Impingement syndrome and calcific tendonitis can be caused by:

1. Degeneration of the body and shoulder joints. As people age, the body deteriorates, including the bones that are more likely to wear out. The body creates more calcium deposits and builds up until it becomes a bone spur. The calcium deposits grow out of normal bone and presses on the tendons beneath the bone. This is most common in people aged 50 years and older.
   
2. Causes from overuse, such as work that has a lot of impact on the shoulder joint, causing the tendons that attach to the muscles to tear and not receiving treatment. The body then tries to create calcium deposits to connect the injured area, causing chronic inflammation. And sports that require a lot of use of the shoulder joint, such as weight training, tennis, badminton, etc. 

Shoulder Tendonitis 

Rotator cuff tear is caused by friction between the tendons covering the shoulder joint and the tip of the scapula while frequently raising the arm above ยูฟ่าเบท the head, causing pain that comes and goes, especially when raising the arm high or spreading the arm. The result is the deterioration of the tendons, which may eventually lead to the rotator cuff tear. In the beginning, patients will have pain in the front and side of the shoulder. Most will have a history of shoulder pain at night and severe pain when lying on the side over the affected arm. In severe cases, there will also be a torn tendon, causing the arm to be weak and difficult to lift. 

Frozen shoulder 

Frozen shoulder is most common in people aged 50-60 years. It occurs more in women than men. The cause is inflammation of the shoulder joint membrane, which then causes fibrosis in the shoulder joint, causing the shoulder joint to move less. It is often found in cases where the arm bone is broken, causing the patient to move the arm less. Both conditions cause similar shoulder pain, such that the patient cannot cross their hands behind their back completely, cannot hook the back, and has difficulty performing daily activities. Therefore, a shoulder specialist should be consulted for a differential diagnosis to determine which abnormality is causing the disease.
