[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 286299, member: 6479"] Thanks to you all! I'm going to try icing it - that's a great recommendation - since the doctor didn't mention anything about that.....it got frustrating enough last night that I went to my HMO's urgent care (costs the same as my doctor and has post-work hours!). She poked and prodded and had me push up and down and sideways and slantways and backways.......and then hit a sweet spot in the middle of my arm, grinned, and triumphantly said, "Tendonitis! Where your deltoid attaches!" OW. I'd been poking at my arm all weekend and never found any part that hurt, but when she jabbed at that spot, my arm definitely got all stabby again. Yowza. Problem being that I can't take NSAIDS or anti-inflammatories 'cause I've got tummy problems. She said to take it easy and take tylenol for the pain, and if it got worse to go see an ortho for cort. shots. Boo bad tummy. So any recommendations now that we know what it is? Ice, I can do. Anything else helped you guys? Is a chiro still a good idea? [/QUOTE]
