I had this in my hip gluteus medius tendinopathy and it is so painful.

Is it painful with the injection 💉?

I need you Dr 😅

I could use that

Waaoo

I'm having this (together with arthroscopic investigation) tomorrow. It's useful to watch videos like this first!!!

Sorry people are not serious in these comments. You will not be in the gym the next evening. It is painful during the physiotherapy afterwards. Your soft tissues have basically been ripped apart so pain is guaranteed. I had this done a week ago and am doing exercises 5x day with physio appts 3x week.

Overall good info. Having suffered for seven years, I don’t believe it eventually goes away. I had therapy, then a steroid injection, thank barbotage, then surgery. The calcium deposit was so large. It left a defect in my tendon, so that had to be repaired. I had some other issues as well, requiring a labral, clean up and biceps tenodesis.

My shoulders had been getting grumbly for years, and then one day I had the most intense pain I've ever experienced. Went to GP who told me I'd had a tendon break, and tried to get me a scan, but the hospital refused. He suggested I go to A&E then they'd have to have a look. When I told them it 'just happened' and there was no obvious bang to it or anything they refused an xray and told me it was tendonitis. Here's some painkillers now move it as much as you can. Meanwhile I used my private health insurance to see a specialist but the wait was still going to be 7 weeks.. After a couple of days of agony despite anti inflammatories and paracetamol with codeine I was running out of what they had given me so back to the GP to talk pain management for the next 7 weeks.. Saw a different doc who told me it was a third thing and would refer for an ultrasound. In the meantime, keep moving it as much as I can and here's some even stronger codeine and paracetamol and loads more naproxen. The NHS ultrasound, 6 weeks of agony and disability later, took 2 minutes and showed acute calcific tendonitis. The GP said he could do cortisone in a few days, but as my specialist appointment was around the corner I said I'd wait for that. He arranged ultrasound guided barbotage, which is a newer procedure than this video even, and should be option 4 in a new vid! They poke around with a big needle to break up the calcium and suck as much out as possible, then do the steroid injection at the same time. A couple more days of soreness and then life changing relief. Had I been xrayed that first time they could have told me to immobilise it, instead of telling me to keep aggravating it with movement, so I'm mad about that, but overall relieved to have it fixed. I've since had the left one ultrasounded and it too has the deposits, but it's yet to become acute. If it does I'll get straight in to have the barbotage even if I have to sell my dog to pay for it!!!! (not really..)

I might have to have this done.

I have bone lumps on both my hands. Can they be removed?

After 7 months of problems with my sholder mobility i tried vitamin k2 initially with double recomended dose. Soon it became better. I am 72 years old and will continue with this supplement also because lowering the risk for CVD.

Don't you have to go in afterwards and clean out the scar tissue?

40 y old male, i had problem with my thyroid when i got my Calcific Tendonitis, still have problem with my shoulder after almost 3 years.Did a shok wave therapy 2 moths ago, so far no improvement.

I have it in my right foot ankle :( it is consistent with strain injury. Does it mean it is as a result of the strain injury or the other way around?

Great video. I can vouch for the all consuming immense pain of acute Calcific Tendonitis, having given birth more than once with no pain relief, the pain I experienced with ACT was as bad! The onset was exactly as you described in this video. I’ve been a little unlucky, as a year after the ACT I started suffering with Chronic CT in my other shoulder. Physiotherapy has been very useful.

Is that just conscious sedation like propofol or is that general anesthesia? I might need this but would definitely prefer conscious sedation. Thanks

I'm going in for this next month. Possibly related to the covid vax. I had a frozen hip too. Had to pay someone to mow our small yard because I couldn't do it.

Excellent video and very informative!

I wish my physician was that quick! I nearly passed out from the pain and then she said she had to insert and try again!

I noticed no herbal remedy’s were mentioned, cortisone shots are a short term bandaid. For inflammation - Apple cider vinegar “Tablespoon with 8oz water 3 times a day” Break down of calcium - “Chanca piedra, Honorable mentions - Sea moss, Moringa

This was the most simple and accurate info thank you

Which needle was used

I got this adhesive capsulitis frozen shoulder after car accident and gone through skin grafting on my shoulder. Next week will be my shoulder manipulation under anaesthesia. Can anybody explain how this procedure? How many hours or minutes will this be. After this procedure how does it fell?

This is so bang on. I have been suffering for 3 years now. Just diagnosed today with the chronic kind. My symptoms are EXACTLY how you described. Thank you!

What a joke! A person just has bad luck?? Lol! Is that your science? Tendons break down/degenerate due to multiple reasons. Poor diet like the SAD (Standard American Diet) is full of inflammatory foods and most people are on it. It lacks optimal nutrition so sooner or later your body will weaken so where, in some way. Also Lyme disease wreaks havoc on collagen/tendons/soft tissue, etc. So that is WHY people with chronic Lyme have arthritis problems in all their joints AND tendon problems. Perhaps, maybe if you're an athlete and over perform and don't practice good down time you will injure your tendons. However most people are not and the human body is meant to move, move, move. IF you have tendon problems seek a doctor that does regenerative medicine which get good nutrition next to the problem area. Do NOT let any Dr give you steroid shots. Worst thing to do. It will break down the collagen, which has already happened, so it's like putting fuel on the fire.

Thanks - I have been diagnosed with this. I am trying a range of exercises to stretch and strengthen the shoulder. I’m also watching my diet and doing more general exercise. I am feeling slight improvement and feel that over time this will help. I am very pleased to hear that this condition will go away eventually.

Where’s the anesthesiologist? Her face is covered and I can’t see if she is under general anesthesia

thanks for this info?

As someone who’s currently in the Freezing stage of Frozen Shoulder, this was both extremely painful and satisfying to watch. I want this done. I’ve been dealing with pain and lack of sleep for months now.

I'm due to have this done on BOTH shoulders at the same time and I'm so anxious. Had FS for 3.5 years now

Will there be severe pain after the operation? My doctor recommended it to me and I am afraid of it, especially since I have diabetes I hope someone who did it will answer me

I just got home from this procedure. Got nerve block and anesthesia. No pain at all during procedure or from waking up. The nerve block didn’t even hurt

If you’re in the worst pain and crying and wondering if this will ever end, I’ve been there. I had pain and frozen shoulder issues for years, but a year ago the pain began to intensify. I went to the doctor and without any exam I was sent directly to physical therapy. I spent months in pain doing the PT before a more experienced physical therapist told me to get an MRI. There I found I had bilateral calcific tendonitis, big masses in both shoulders. I read in an old Chinese medicine book that homogenized milk caused it so I decided to quit dairy. I also read that dehydration can cause it, so I drank 60oz of wanted per day. To lower inflammation, I took Motrin around the clock and it helped a little. I still woke from pain every 2 hours. Ice packs helped. I went to an orthopedic doctor and got an ultrasound-guided cortisone shot in each shoulder (my PT advised me to request the ultrasound). I had relief from the intensity of the pain and gained some mobility quickly. Then after a few weeks I had sever pain again in one shoulder and my orthopedic doctor recommended that I have surgery to remove it because the masses were so large. I did another round of shots while I waited for surgery. I scheduled surgery, I prayed that I wouldn’t need it. I went back for an x-ray and after 2-3 months, the calcific deposited were almost all gone. My doctor was amazed! After the 3rd shot within 4 months, one shoulder is back to normal and the other is not too far behind. There is nothing but a dusting left of calcium, the other is clear. I hope this helps you in your journey, don’t give up hope.

What is going on exactly? What is stif? What did the pulling fixed this?

Just here to say her manicured nails are BEAUTIFUL. : )

Can i do this if i have a very stiff elbow with ulnar entrapment and subluxation due to dislocation?? I want to avoid surgery (the doctor want to do arhtrolysis and ulnar nerve transposition at the same time)

Very pleasant doctor

I'm about to have to do the same thing. Looks brutal. Can NOT wait. 😃

Brilliant video and explanation. Thank you.

This shit hurts! 😩

Harry was brilliant, understanding and very professional. I had this procedure on my right side. Instant results and very happy! No pain and now have full range of movement. Thanks Harry!

Thanks doctor .. this information was so helpfull to me to understand what is reason for my pain and TX my specialist going to do.

Wow que bien lo Explicó. Muchas gracias

My frozen shoulder of 2+ years is so sore and restricted even after multiple useless joint-injections, that I bring my arm across my body until the searing pain, turn my audio volume right up and click 1:39 repeatedly.

Very good. Very accurate diagnosis, to me in fact: acute on the right, and near chronic on the left. I told people about the pain of acute .... and yah sure they said.

My PT called it on me post surgery about 3 mos in. Here we are 5 mos & I’m getting MRI tomorrow. Finally the PA sees my frustration with no improvement in 2 mos. Anyone able to share details post MUA? Immediate PT, how was the MUA pain compared to rotator cuff surgery? How was your ROM? How much longer did you need PT?

Wonderful, wonderful video! Thank you!

So chronic calcification can be resolved by itself?

I assume the same can happen in the hip? It crackles when I twist, I guess thats the calcium deposits. I had once a Cortison shot under Ultra Sound and it dissipated, spread the pain out over a larger area, reduced the pain, but eventually came back. I have a feeling of wanting to stretch the right leg till it clicks and then it would be done, but doesnt. So I guess I go back to the sports doc again and see about a more long term treatment. Really bothers me. I think I got an injury from overstretching at the gym, then it wasnt treated and the calcium formed. Maybe also I take too high doses of Vitamin D pills, 10k units a day? 250mg as D3 Cholecalciferol. Does that absorb or deposit? Thanks for the video.
