My wife, 65, a regular gym enthusiast, developed pain in the right shoulder which did not abate with any medication. A u. S scan indicated tendonitis. It is persisiting for the last 6 months. What is the remedy if there is one? is surgery an option? presently she applies topical gel and stretch band over the affected part. Your expert opinion please.
