BLARG!
Now that I got that out of my system, I want to first thank you guys for helping me prep for my new rheumatologist. I made notes and she took the time to really talk to me. Well, as well as a doctor can talk to their patients, I guess.
Anywho, I guess my real question is about tendonitis.
Is tendonitis a symptom of Fibro? And if so, what do I do about it?
And if it's not a symptom of Fibro, what do I do about it?
I am an athletic and active person (well, I used to be), but now it seems like every time I even look at exercise, I get tendonitis. For example, I slowly tried to work up to running. I jogged THREE times and got high hamstring tendonitis. So I'm back to walking. I have been focusing more on gentle yoga... and I got a tendonitis flare in my shoulder.
If you've ever had tendonitis, you know it can take weeks and weeks to heal. So I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do it I get tendonitis just thinking about exercise.
Should I go see an orthopedist? Go to physical therapy?
For clarity, I am currently using:
Cymbalta - depression/anxiety (does nothing for my pain)
Gabapentin - recently started, undecided, may not continue
CBD oil - releases my muscles
Cannabis - for sleepy time
Exercise: walking & yoga (mainly for strength training & stretching)
Thanks,
