pamelalimlf Not sure how true but wiki says that there can be positive impingement sign in subacromial bursitis. Aside from the above, is there any other specific symptoms we can look out for to confirm it is subacromial bursitis? (: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subacromial_bursitis +1

hayayah Adhesive capsulitis causes severe restriction of both active and passive range of movement of the glenohumeral joint in all planes (especially external rotation). +24

Can anyone explain why bicipital tendonitis is incorrect?

Bursitis tends to cause pain both during movement and at rest (e.g. simply laying on your shoulder is painful), while tendonitis only causes pain while you are actively using the muscle of the inflamed tendon.
