Less bad than expected

Thursday, my ankle was sore; yesterday, I was having real trouble walking, so I made an appointment with my doctor. He diagnosed it as tendinitis and prescribed an anti-inflammatory for 1 to 2 weeks, which is working very well; I expect I'll be back at aikido on Monday, although I'll try not to be too hard on it. This is much better than I expected, which was to be off it for a couple of weeks!

hope it heals well and that you don't hurt it again or anything else.

So do I, thanks! So far so good, and the meds may also give some minor relief to my knee, but it's not something I want to take for too long.

My husband has struggled with severe tendinitis. It went on for a long time because it took so long to identify and start to do something about. He finds that stretching in the morning first-thing helps, long walks help, turmeric helps a lot (especially the fresh root), and small amounts of seafood with lots and lots of fresh leafy greens.
