I saw my doctor and he ordered a new xray, bloodwork, and new ultrasound. Xray was "perfect", no infection, and unfortunately the ultrasound showed my tendon is still inflamed to 5x its normal size. They can't really do a MRI because the metal distorts the image.
The radiologist suggested I ask about acupuncture, Grafton technique, and PRP injections for the tendinitis. None of these are possible right now, but you might want to check with your doctor about those if its tendinitis.
I'll let you know if I hear other ideas.
