Tendinitis post surgery?
Hi! For quick context, I had a large fibroid (pressing against sacrum -> bad back pain) diagnosed in December. I'm now 2 weeks post laparoscopic surgery.
Since the surgery I've been dealing with bad tendinitis. First it was mainly my right arm. Elbow mainly, shoulder too, wrist would join the party and come and go. Then my left wrist would flare up randomly then die back down.
Idk. It feels related to the surgery in a way...?
Like is my body inflamed from the surgery and flaring up this way?
A decade ago I dealt with bad wrist tendinites and it would SYSTEMATICALLY be linked to my menstrual cycle. Period => flare up.
So now I'm also wondering if my hormones are playing up somehow?
The tendinitis is all flared up now and I feel like im recovering from an arm injury, not abdominal surgery.
Am i halucinating? Has anyone else had something similar? Or is it just cause I've been in bed for a week and now my arms are sore?
