I'm sorry that you are having so much pain. I can sympathize with you because right now I'm having the same problems and had to go to the dr.last week. I was told that I had tendonitis also. Some mornings I wake up and can't move it at all. It feels like it is broke. I have to hold it close to my body with the other hand until I can get moist heat on it long enough to were I can move it at all!!! I don't know how you feel about moist heat, but I don't know what I would do without it. A couple of weeks ago a friend told me about a product made by Procter & Gamble called ThermaCare. They hadn't been in stores very long. I was needing something for my back when I went to purchase them and found that they also had them for your shoulder & arm too so I purchased a box of them since my shoulder and arm was also hurting and couldn't get relief. I think they are wonderful!!! The air activates the moist heat. It says it usually takes 30 min. for it to heat up but I've found out it's sooner. It also says that the heat will last for 8 hours but I've also found out that it last a whole lot longer than that. I even sleep in one after wearing it for several hours and when I wake up, its still warm. The only place that I've found them are at Wal-Mart but I'm sure they have them other places in a bigger city. I'm sorry for such a long response but I know how you feel and hope this will help if you try them. Pain can make you so ill after awhile. You will try anything!!!!!
