Hi. Ten days back I had slept in a wrong position and noticed pain in my shoulder joint whenever I lift it at a particular angle. Later I went a tooth extraction where doctor gave me pain killers to relieve tooth pain. With them the shoulder pain also nullified. Recently before 2 days when I stopped my pain killers course I started noticing a pain when performing activities like head bath or wearing shirt. I approached a physiotherapist who diagnosed it as supraspinatus tendonitis. She recommended me for physio therapy for 10 days where daily session cost is quite expensive. I can use my hand normally but the problem arises only some times whenever I make abrupt motion at some particular angle. As the problem now became mild I can not decide whether to continue physio or stop it keeping in mind its expensiveness. The physiotherapist gave me dry needling in my first session and tomorrow is my second of ten sessions. Please answer me whether I can stop in middle? Is it ok to avoid those huge expenses for a mild pain? Will my condition heal naturally?

If you can continue the excercises at home it's ok it seems like frozen shoulder but I am not the correct specialist for that ext has no concern with this pain killers normally work all over the body in muscular pains.

Dear lybrate-user supraspinatus tendinitis gives issues in overhead activities. Strengthening exercises for a period of 4 to 6 wks coupled with moist heat therapy should take care off this issue. Constant exercises thereafter will prevent this problem recurring. Avoid sternous work with the shoulder affected.
