Now my left shoulder is killing me because of using it so much. I have to go in Friday and have a cortisone shot for it. I know he is going to want me to do physical therapy, but with the fibromyalgia I cannot do repetitive exercises. I can do yoga all day, but pulling on a rubber band will cause me so much pain the next day that I am on the couch with an ice pack for days. I am at my wits end with all of this and next week I have to have surgery for a female problem. Aaaaarrrrrggggg!

Perhaps ask the doc to write a script for massage therapy or if doc insists on PT, there are some therapists that will do cranial sacral release which may loosen shoulder or you can talk them into massage therapy.
Wouldn't bicep tendonitis benefit from a strong anti inflammatory? I take Mobic or Relafen which are very effective.
Much luck on shoulder and surgery.
