Hi!
I'm not sure whether this comes under EIMs or treatment side-effects, so I've put it in the general section.
Does anyone out there have any problems with tendonitis? I have had problems with my left shoulder (front deltoid pain, also causing clunky movement in the whole shoulder) for a couple of months now and it just doesn't seem to be going away. I think it started by repetitive activity (I do tapestries to relax in the evening and I think the constant movement of the upper arm has caused it), but even though I stopped doing that a few weeks ago it still isn't better.
I have read that Mezavant, which I have taken for over two years now, can cause tendonitis, but I don't know how likely that is. Or could it be the Crohn's itself or the Azathioprine (125mg, again for 2 years so far)?
Of course, the recommended treatment is anti-inflammatories (NOT taking those) and rest, which I do as much as possible, but with little joy.
I just wondered if anyone else had experience of this and any advice would be very gratefully received!
Cheers!
Nitty
