Quoted:
Just a generic term for inflammation the doctors can't figure out. I've been diagnosed with tendentious many times. Seriously! I had a lump on my Achilles from a pair of hiking boots the size of a ping pong ball, and the doctor said it was "just tendinitis." But his solution to everything was 3200 mg of ibuprofen daily. |

Yeah, it sucks.
I'll mention though that what other posters have said, it's a generic diagnosis for an inflammation issue, is true. If you've worked a lot of construction it's likely you have bursitis rather than tendonitis, it doesn't matter much since the regimen is the same. If it's bursitis it will take a while to go away, you have to avoid any impact/shock to the joint, but it does heal. |
