I have had many steroid shots that don't help for long. I am now trying to type this with two thumb splint braces on, not easy. I went to the ortho dr today and he is a little baffled because all of my pain is bilateral with every tendin. The only word I recognized was possibly some sort of sclerosis. Has anyone else delt with any of this. I am sure I have more symptoms but I might not know they are symptoms. anything would help thank you.

I'm wondering if prior to your symptoms (within a year prior) did you take a fluoroquinolone antibiotic such as Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox, etc? They are sometimes prescribed for UTI and sinus infections. I am asking you because I have tendon problems in approx 21 tendons (could be more, but not up for more testing). It is a horrible degenerative condition brought on by a toxic response to the antibiotic. They have debilitating effects on the tendons and CNS and PNS and interfere with the tendon being able to repair itself normally. I came on this forum looking for PN help and stumbled upon your post. Let us know if this could be the issue. Thanks and good luck!
