Hi again

I was diagnosed today with achilles tendonitis in my right heel and a bakers cyst behind my left knee. I have been in a lot of pain lately but just put it down to RA. Are these things related to raise and will I need surgery at all?

    Probably not surgery. Tendonitis usually requires rest, and bakers cysts don'

    t rusually require surgery, fluid drainage and injection , maybe

    I cant give you much help on the cyst tbh but I do know the pain of tendinites in your heal. I was told surgery is a last option if treatment doesnt work just last week I went to rumtiolgy limping like I always do because of what I thought was my RA doctor examined my ancel and told me it was more likley tendinites wich is linked with RA. I was given an injection straight to the joint to try and treat and within two days im walking almost normally you shoud deffently ask about it I would deffently recomend it although I was told its not a long lasting pain relief just reduces the imflamation
