Calcified tendonitis is a situation where the body has expressed calcium into the tendon and/or the tissue intimately surrounding the tendon.

This can look like either A. calcium showing up in a healthy tendon that will then most likely be reabsorbed (painfully) by the body or B. there is so much load on the tendon that the brain tells it to get stronger, so the body starts to (essentially) turn the tendon into bone.

Calcified tendonitis can show up anywhere, but the most usual location is in the shoulder tendons.
