Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My doctor has suggested I may have tendonitis. I have considerable lack of movement in my left arm, some in my right. It s very painful in the left , tender in one spot and aches, particularly if I try to use it or make the wrong movement. I m diabetic. I thought it was lymphodoema from removal of lymph glands in 2001 and 2006, but the radiologist who x-rayed my arm suggested a cancer...Help!
Hello, I have studied your case and I think tendinitis is not thing to be worried. It is common in Diabetics and It is due to collection of fluid around tendon and overuse of some group of muscles. I would suggest you to make sure that your blood sugar is with in normal limit. Then only you can have faster result. Apart form that you can get steroid injection in then tendon and wear tennis elbow bend. As far as diagnosis of cancer on x ray is concerned you need to send me x rays only then i can comment about whether there is any cancer is there or not. I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
