I had a long and painful 3 year battle with tendonitis. The cortisone shots contain a local anesthetic that creates the illusion of relief.

After 3 years of doctors prescribing pain killers and cortisone shots (with no results, and surgery on the horizon), I was advised to seek out an occupational therapist, who cured me COMPLETELY through deep massage, ice therapy, and tendon strengthening exercises.

Find an occupational therapist in your area.

Wish you best of luck
