See a sports medicine orthopedist or osteopath instead of a surgeon if you have that option, many larger orthopedic practices do. They focus on function and rehabilitation, with surgery as a last resort.
Keep in mind that tendon and muscle injuries can heal VERY slowly. I have been in PT for tendinopathy in my shoulder for 3 months and am finally seeing progress. Also healing from "massive" rotator cuff repair in the other arm - approaching normal after 10 months, with a new setback after tendon repair on the elbow on that side.
I am learning to be kinder to my body. Hard to do after 60+ years of doing whatever I wanted!
