I also developed plantar fasciitis in both feet in 2023 when two weeks in bed with RSV. Summer 2025 a tendon in my hand ruptured putting up a 35 lb dumbbell in gym exercise room.

A ruptured tendon might be a Prednisone side effect.

At least you were doing something when your tendon ruptured. I had a "spontaneous rupture" of the tendon connecting my thumb. The only thing I was doing was pushing a button with my thumb when my tendon ruptured.
