[at-l] Tendonitis (status)

[Marsha Lee]

Tendonitis is painful enough, I certainly hope there is no tear. 

I first treated my pain with ibuprofen, to no avail, then decided I didn't know what I was dealing with so I went to the doctor. One month later I was still suffering--quite an experience. 

Best of luck to you.
