Thanks for your post alavahalf. It's a little reassuring in some ways, not so much in others ! How you waited 3 years tho' ... !!
I did mention ultrasound last night but my GP dismissed it, said it wouldn't show anything, which I did find a little odd. How do I know how many of the tendons are affected - maybe 1 or 2, maybe all 4 ? Has always seemed to be worse at the front, injection went in the back.
Mine started in September I think, small things like when putting stuff on passenger seat of the car or in the footwell. I thought it was a pulled muscle or something, but mentioned it when I went to doc after "did" my back last month. Was taking ibuprofen & paracetomol for that which didn't help my arm / shoulder at all hence I know painkillers don't work. I think it's tied in with my job, started in March, where I'm sitting around a lot (more used to having an active job), hunched over probably - doc did mention posture originally, & pilates - so hoping it's not wear 'n tear.
