Tendonitis

[maggiebee]

Has anyone on here suffered from this? I was diagnosed with tendonitis about 3 months ago and was given a month's supply of anti inflammatories. Was also told to sit with a bag of frozen peas for 15 minutes every 2/3 hours. Have followed GP's advice to the letter but am still in quite a lot of pain - not every day I must admin. Have also heard it can take up to 6 months to heal properly. Any more advice?

i variously on and off get bicep tendonitis, and have doe so for the last 20 years. It means that at times i cant get dressed or brush my teeth, or eat and drink comfortably.

Which tendinitis are we referring to ?

Sorry Sqad should have said it's in my right knee. Seems to be still very tender below the kneecap and I'm walking with a limp.

Thanks....assuming that the diagnosis is correct ????? then it should have cleared up weeks ago.
Go back to your GP.

Thanks Sqad, will do.

Had another visit to my GP yesterday and saw a locum. Slightly different diagnosis this time - he called it bursitis and is arranging for me to have an Xray later this week. Still quite painful but maybe very slightly improved.
