So I got a call from my doc today and he says I have tendonitis and we can do nothing or we can refer me to an orthopedist who will most likely give my shoulder a steroid injection. Anybody else ever have one of these injections? Will the euphoria of the large needle be so great that I become addicted? j/k Anyhow, the ortho he is reffering me to did a fellowship specializing in joints and my doctor has a significant amount of faith in him. I am allowed to get back in the water when I feel the time is right but he warned me to take it easy so as not to aggravate it before it completely heals. At least I don't have to worry about surgery and can concentrate on my recovery. Thanks again to all of you who responded to my posts with words of encouragement.

I have tendinitis in my wrist. When I was first diagnose with it I was told it was from overuse and there really isn't anything I could do about it but rest. I could take pain medicine but that was about it. It will come back if I overuse my wrist. It is something that I will have to deal with all my life and not something that will heal and go away permittly. At least this is what I was told.
