I will be keeping you in my prayers and I sure hope you won't need surgery...I don't know anything about tendons and such, maybe that's the only way to get it done correctly. Dyan
just got back from the orthopedic surgeon. He asked if I wanted surgery or did I want to try cortisone injection first. So, I opted for the injection!
I don't know how I did it - but I did have a fall last year and fractured my left knee and tore the rotator cuff in my left shoulder. I have a feeling I did this at the same time, and it has only started being painful recently. I can't think of any other way I could have done it. But apparently it could also be caused by age related atrophy of the tendon. It's a b**ch getting old!

But will see how the cortisone injections work. If I need to have the surgery, apparently it is arthroscopic surgery so it will be minimally invasive.
