Do you know how Covid caused your tendinopathy? I have bilateral gluteal and hamstring partial tears with no known cause. I just started to have significant pain and weakness in hips/buttocks/legs and have difficulty standing up from seated positions, controlling hip rotation/movement, lifting legs to put on underwear and pants and strength to go up and down stairs. Standing for long periods isn’t easy. Like you, I can walk on flat surfaces for a distance but not climb or handle slopes up/down well. Some of my issues may also be tied to my spinal stenosis , degenerative disc disease and neurogenic claudication. Did you ever have your lumbar spine looked at?

I am supposed to start physical therapy for upper and lower body following multiple spine surgeries where I have deconditioned quite a bit. Like you, I would love to know how to strengthen muscles/tendons to improve function. I have heard about debridement surgery to reconnect tendons/muscles but not sure if that would make things worse for me.
