Tendonitis
I've just been to see a physiotherapist due to ongoing joint and lower back pain.
She has told me that many of her patients are cancer patients and that the chemotherapy affects the tendons of the body, particularly in the feet.
I'd had an ultrasound but there was no evidence of tendionitis in my feet but my tendons wee still really painful.
The physio said the chemo attacks the structure of the tendon but this can be repaired over time with exercise so she's given me a sheet with different exercises to do and an appointment to have hydrotherapy in the hope of helping with my back pain.
Has anyone else had this sort of problem?
