The MRI on my shoulder fortunately revealed no rotator cuff damage, merely tendinopathy, a fancy term for tendinitis. Google offers this definition: a broad term for a range of tendon disorders, primarily caused by overuse, repetitive strain, or aging, leading to pain, stiffness, and weakness. I am being referred to an orthopedic doctor who I expect will say, "At your age, if it hurts, don't do it."
Having spent the past four months trying to recover my strength and stamina after three weeks of inactivity due to sciatica pain, telling me to stop moving is not going to fly. Nevertheless, I am distressed at the prospect of "just live with it." Let's hope the next doctor has something helpful to offer.
Stay tuned,
Leta
