Sorry to hear that so many are suffering the same thing I am and with no relief. I've had numerous injections that had no effect whatsoever. They keep telling me to do PT which I have been doing for nearly 25 years off and on but the pain has gradually gotten worse. I feel like I'm too old for the doctors to waste their time with. The ONLY thing that gives me any relief is hydrocodone and you know how most docs feel about that. I have read several places including the Mayo website that platelet rich plasma injections are "promising" to heal the tendons but are not covered by insurance. I'm considering paying the $3000 for and injection.
