So an update for anyone also battling this kind of thing. Saw PT…he couldn’t treat me until I had an ultrasound so he could see exactly what was wrong.
Ultrasound shows : The sheath around the tendon (peritenon) has a partial tear and the The Kager’s fat pad is inflamed.
PT has prescribed 5 days of anti-inflammatories + no exercise at all (swimming is allowed but no cycling, running, or even excessive walking)
Follow up appointment scheduled for 2 Sept to see hows it done.
I’m hating not being able to ride but happy I at least have a diagnosis and plan to work towards.
