Dear dr. I have a pain in my right joint of shoulder. I guess it is call tendo pain. Is it a cervical spondylitis. Have taken physiotherapy for 10 days. Pain has got reliefed but not fully. At some times it pains. Can you suggest what needs to be done.

Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. Shoulder pain could be due to multiple reasons like tendinitis, arthrosis, rotator cuff pathology etc. Cervical spondylitis is an entirely different pathology so the two should not be confused at all. Your pain could be due to some tendinitis in your shoulder. But since physical therapy has helped you, I advise to continue the same and take short course anti-inflammatory medication for 5-7 days. Please let me know if your pain increases, or if it is associated with any other issue? do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
