  Tendonopathy means there is some damage to a tendon, & the shoulder joint is commonly affected. Nerve impingement means that a nerve has been compressed or 'pinched' which results in pain due to this.

  Hi @harry01, now that you've had your scan and the doctors can see what's wrong, are they offering any treatment?
  
  I suspect that my shoulder problems are the same as yours but I have another two weeks to wait until I have my scan... I'm still in awful pain.... 
  
  I hope you get the help you need.

  Thanks for the information @chiarieds
  
  @Oxonlady @janer1967 they said that it should get better with exercise but they asked me what I thought would help. I said that I thought light specific shoulder exercises should help but where I don't 'push through' the pain' and trust my instincts. 
  
  Probably better sleep, less stress etc. 
  
  Just to note that my practice didn't seem to tell the physio anything at all. He starts the conversation with 'What's the problem' and knew nothing about my shoulder or the scan!?
