Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
Tendinitis can take up to 6 months to heal, and typically the treatment involves rest, ice, elevation, as well as non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs. A period of one month rest is advised, limiting the movements of the affected joint as much as possible. Following which gradually exercise as well as physical therapy aids in recovery. What muscle relaxers are you on? Steroids are given as injections, if the pain does not settle down or worsen. You are already on steroids. Has there been no change in the level of discomfort following the use of medicines?
Finally if it does not resolve, other alternative methods such as PRP or prolotherapy needs to be initiated.
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards.
