Hi, just wondering if anyone on here has had a torn tendon and how long it took to recover. Also what they found worked best. Mine started about 12 weeks ago. Had ultrasound and x-ray. Have physio once a week and do the exercises everyday. Had cortisone injection about5 weeks ago and it hasn't done anything for the pain. Saw different GP as mine away and asked for referral for second cortisone injection (I was told by doctor who did original injection I might need another) She refused. saying I had to be patient! Unfortunately the pain is making me quite miserable, trying to do more with left hand and arm but now worried if I put too much strain on 'good' side it could have a detrimental effect, Have made appointment to see my GP on his return - in 4 weeks - but am seeing acupuncturist tomorrow for possible pain relief. Never had acupuncture but hoping it works. It's the little things that are getting me down, like pulling up my knickers, so hard one handed! Hoping someone on here knows of a treatment that works. Apologies for this post being a bit long winded.
