Please seek advice from a professional before arriving at self diagnosis as an effective remedy relies on correct diagnosis, therapy based on misdiagnosis can be dangerous. Tendonitis is usually a result of over working or straining whereas other issues can come to light from inactivity, for example. Wish you well sir!

Raja Clavata Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 call 111 - you might have to wait a while but I'm sure they'll be relieved to talk about something other than covid-19 symptoms 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Docs are only seeing people one at a time if necessary. They are inter spacing appointments in person so the waiting room is kept clear. Most appointments are over the phone now.

Hi Kingsy As others have said: Try your gp this morning as may be doing extended telephone triage hours in current climate as many are, if not you may be given a number for out of hours gp if not it will be nhs 111. Without eliciting a good clinical history a differential or single diagnosis cannot be made. Try not to worry but get yourself checked today. atb 7diaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quad tendinitis is a bit of a general term, as the word quad suggests you have 4 muscles in that group. If you cant get hold if your GP you can pm me some of the specifics on what's happening and I can give you more of an idea of what may be happening. My normal day job is (was before covid 19) in engineering but I'm also a qualified sports therapist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
