What type of specialist should I see for a full-body tendon condition?


Posted by KerryO

For the last 5 years, I have had chronic pain from tendonitis that impacts my entire body, especially my feet, hands, forearms, shoulders and shoulder blades.  Physical therapy, massage and accupuncture have had minimal success reducing the severity of the pain  Over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol, Ibuprofin and Aleve don't help.  Icing the areas works the best, but is obviously a temporary fix.

I have seen a sports medicine doctor at Northwestern and they were of little help.  I am interested in finding the right specialist that can diagnose this condition and who may have new ideas for treatment.

Thanks for any and all help!
