I 'guess' this is good news about the tendonitis. It's going to be an aggravation and an inconvienence, but other than that it's repairable.
Good Morning to the Dawn Patrol.
Actually, it is the 'best' news about my heel. I heard it pop the other day, and the dr was afraid I had ruptured the tendon, which would require surgery. I do have to be careful, but so far so good. I take a pain pill at night and an anti-inflammatory during the day.
Good luck on cutting down on your medication. I've been able to do that, but it took a few years. And I still keep a script with me so that if I need it, I can get it.
