The supraspinatus tendon runs from the muscle on the outside of the shoulder blade, over the shoulder joint and inserts on the humerus. The distal aspect is the part that inserts onto the humerus. Tendonopathy is unclassified disease of the tendon; this could be due to infection, trauma, degeneration or neoplasia.

In practical terms, this is one of the tendons associated with the rotator cuff. It is severely damaged and may be close to the point of spontaneous rupture. Surgery is not a fun option as it is painful, recovery is time-consuming and 100% function is not likely to be restored. I suspect your doctor would have recommended strict rest to let the tendon heal itself - no lifting weights, no raising the arm over your head, possibly wear a sling.

Yes, but not at the joint that is sprained, or the area further from the body (distal) in relation to the sprain. Instead, apply First Aid, such as RICE. Rest, ice, compression, and elevation.

Yes, but not at the location of the fracture, if it is a simple or hairline fracture, or the area of the body beyond (distal) to the fracture.
