Physical Therapy
I saw my orthopaedist again today, after two weeks of complete rest didn't seem to improve my injury much. He re-examined me and said that I wasn't presenting with anything that would show up on an MRI but that he would look at it again just to make sure there's not something more serious going on. The problem here is that I'm not very good at sitting around doing nothing with no direction/plan to get better. I identify as a runner, so not being able to run is very difficult--even though I've somewhat filled the void with some silly hobbies, like growing truckloads of wheatgrass. Pretty soon it's going to take over the apartment. Anyway, given that I don't have anything more serious than stubborn tendonitis, I'm going to be doing physical therapy 2 to 3 times per week for 6 weeks and then follow up with the doc at the end of June. I'd do PT for a year if that's what would heal my injury. That's how badly I want to get better.

hope you get better soon! patience is a virtue but I understand how hard this must be for you.
Thanks! I did physical therapy in 2006 for a different tendonitis and that worked, so I have a lot of faith in it.
