Suggest Medication For Trapped Tendons
hi, I have terrible pain in my shoulder and down my arm as far as my elbow. I have had an xray and it is showing trapped tendons, my doctor has said the waiting list here is very long. pain killers and anti inflammatories have not been helping. so now I am going to try etoflam gel. in the meantime, what should I be doing? it could be 2 years or more before I see the orthopedic surgeon.
