Before I try a blasting cap has anyone found a workable treatment for tendonitis?
This.
@SandHillThicket those first two things, how's that work🤣 It's my dominant arm and I have things to do! I started ice today, will look for some anti-inflammatory. Thanks!
@b4cks4w Yeah it's a bugger but they're right.
RICE
Rest
Ice
Compression (more for muscles)
Elevation
It's what the ER would tell you. There's no medicine to cure it.
@SandHillThicket
My rheumatologist suggested rotation with ice and heat.

@b4cks4w I know, right?! I say the same thing and just try extra hard to rest and not use as hard...
Sometimes short term splinting is helpful too ( tendinitis of the wrist which is a favorite body part my arthur likes to eat ) not sure where your pain in the itis is located.
@KazzyH elbow, coincidentally(?) the one I broke a long time ago and think healed fine.
Ugh tough spot. It affects or is it effects (?) Whatever - your entire arm.
Hope it gets to feeling better. Might try low dose aspirin/Tylenol together & see if that helps.
@KazzyH might help me not use it as much
@Mauve_matelot @daniel @KazzyH 😂
My left hand is worse than non-dom, it's actively useless. I'm a bad leftist
@Mauve_matelot @KazzyH blasting cap.
Okay, I have heat on it as we chat and will try socialism for a week
@Mauve_matelot @KazzyH wait what? Shucks! Back at ya
@b4cks4w use affected area less, rest, low dose prednisone for days, NSAIDs, heat and ice. Takes time.
