Synovitis? Tendonitis?

[Orangeanddemons]

I am really suffering with hideous pain in Achilles, and in hands. Googled it and discovered the above. What can I do about such weedy tendons? Is it worth going to the doctors?

Are you getting any swelling? And yes, it is definitely worth seeing a doctor.

No, no swelling, but cannot put any weight at all on my hand ATM. It flares up every fortnight or so

You would usually get swelling with synovitis>

Most "tendinitis" is actually tendonopathy (not that you care). Never near it being linked to hands as well though.

I have chronic tendonopathy (ouchy ouch ouch) and have in the past had rsi in wrist.

Doctor I'm afraid.
