Suggest Ways To Rule Out Tendonitis

Dopplers ultrasound should be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Generally it is impossible for a doctor to rule out veins thrombosis without an ultrasound. So telling you that this is not a blood clot is just a lie.
She may have two things which should be ruled out at first:
1. Chronic arteries narrowing and obstruction (atherosclerosis). If so, her leg should be colder than the other one. The pulse should be absent on the painful leg. The pain greatly increases while walking so she should stop and wait.
2. Deep veins thrombosis. There might no symptoms at all. The pain does not go away while resting. The leg is not cold, rather warm. Can be swollen.
Tendonitis does not seem to be the case.
In case of arteries issues and veins issues, Doppler ultrasound should be done.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
