What Is The Treatment For Tendonitis?
I have been diagnosed with tendonitis that travels down from the shoulder, to elbow and thru wrist and finally to the big thumb. I have been given a anti-inflamitory for 5 days only. Worked wonders, but when I stopped the pills, the pain was back. Now I an taking Diclofenac 75mg twice daily with food. I don't feel good while taking it, but it has made the wrist feel almost normal, thumb is thinner than it has been in months. No pain in shoulder. To be honest, I have gone on lighter duty at home and wear a carpol tunnel brace during the day and at night. Is there another med that would be less irritating to my system?

Hello!
In my opinion phisiotherapy is useful for tendon pain - for example ultrasound wave therapy.
The main concepts are present in Your case - lighter duty (rest!), non-steroid anti inflammatories + cold needed 15min through towel.
