      Shannon have you had an ultra sound done? i was told to take Advil since it is an anti inflammatory.

      I never had an ultra sound done. They said to take ibuprophen and an acid reducer for your stomach if you take frequently.

      I am so tired of going to the doctor for these things, and so scared not to!

    I'm wondering if it's the same thing I'm experiencing. I have had a tender elbow for about 1 month now. Hurts when I move my arm certain directions...feels like tendonitis. Quite painful.

      do you golf or play tennis? i dont😕 just when i got over frozen shoulder. i think it could be my coffee intake. i have a coffee every morning and evening. i had stopped for a bit when i found out caffeine is linked to frozen shoulder

    mine used to hurt for about 2 years, so much so that when i went to bed i had to have a pillow under my elbow to soften the pain, sometimes that didnt even work. At the same time my hips & legs were also in severe pain. I went oh HRT tablets after having a blood test & being told i was in Peri. With no word of a lie, after just 2 weeks of taking these tablets my pains in my hips/legs & my elbow disappeared. I was like my old self of over 2 years ago. Maybe you need a discussion with your GP to see if its hormone related? Good luck.
