There is one more factor I'd like to mention:
If you have used in the past a drug from the fluoroquinolone family (Cipro, Levaquin or Avelox)...you need to know that these drugs which are common antibiotics and used for UTIs and pneumonias, can affect the tendons and cause ruptures and other pathology. Somehow they interfere with tendon maintenance. This usually happens AFTER the treatments and is often overlooked by doctors. The toxicity of these drugs is considerable. This may be a factor for you in addition to extreme physical activity that also stresses tendons. Tendon injury takes a long time to heal. It might be a good idea to see a hand specialist at this point.
