dude, you've followed the progress of the issues I've had with the tendonitis in my elbow since 1/06...that's the course of tendon injuries. they take a LONG time to heal... and the older you are, thje longer it takes.
the tendonitis I had in my shoulders in the late 90s took 2 years to heal, and they are still tender. my elbow may never heal fully.
there's no pills, there's no therapy, there's no surgery - unless the tendon tears... sometimes injections of cortizone can help.
That said, there's a hand specialist office at the Metrowest Wellness center on rte 9 in framingham. they did my carpal tunnel surgery in '02, and gave me the cortizone for my elbow last summer which worked wonders...check them out.
here's the link:
