Rotator Cuff Tendinitis and Bursitis The rotator cuff tendons lie next to a large bursa called the subacromial bursa. Inflammation of either the rotator cuff tendons or the subacromial bursa produces similar pain. Because the treatment of rotator cuff tendinitis and subacromial bursitis is the same, we will consider them together. At the very end of the rotator cuff tendons on the upper arm the blood supply is limited. As a result, this region is subject to inflammation, reduced delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, and small tears of the tendons. These factors appear to cause rotator cuff tendinitis and bursitis. Usually this discomfort begins with a dull ache that extends from the shoulder into the upper arm and worsens at night.
