Chronic Tendonitis
 

I was diagnosed with a severe case of tendonitis, its has been chronically bugging me for close to 4 years now. It started with my inside right elbow. Now my left bicep tendon and both forearms, both my shoulders. I've had blood tests done for (inflammation/erythrocyte sedimentation/antinuclear antibody/reumatiod arthritis) everything came back negative and very confused why I am still in chronic pain. I'm determined to figure out what's going on though. I grew up on a farm and wrestled until freshman year of high school. I have also been bodybuilding for a few years now, but have since put everything on hold for a couple months meaning no gym/nothing strenuous at all. I've done different types of manual labor jobs throughout the years. I am now recenty laid off from work for the winter. My diet is pretty clean and feel I am doing things right by taking it extremely easy but nothing has been working at all, haven't felt healthy or 100% for some time now. I have been taking it easy as the doctors say having many separate opinions from different doctors/physical therapists/urolgist/personal trainers/chiropractors. The list goes on and on, that's why I am on here trying to get another opinion seeing if any of you have similar problems.

Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks

Debi,

If I recall correctly; you had problems with migraines. When I have had steroid treatment or steroids in general; the migraines are "off the wall". I had a procedure done a few years ago. My migraines were awful. I told a rep at the clinic; "if I didn't know better, I would have thought I had been given steroids". She told me "yes", you were given an injection after the procedure. I had thought of asking you if you had had any seroids.

This could very well have set yours off. Sometimes; even tho event is over; the trigger results in a response that can start them up again lasting quite some time.

I have had cortizone shots in a few various areas, also have been prescribed on naproxen, diclofenac, glucosamine chondotriton, fish oil, multivitamin, ibuprofen 4 pills 3x day. I don't take anything but fish oil and multivitamin now because I feel I have become immune to the rest of it.

I'm pretty stumped as to what to is and has been going on with my body.

Hey Gerry :)
