Anyone know how to calm down tendinitis?

Question

My mom is experiencing side effects from a medicine (which she has finished taking), which has caused her tendinitis in her upper leg. Don't ask me to seek medical help because she already has. They said it should calm down within a few days, but in the meantime the pain relievers that she has been using---have not helped her situation. Anyone have any alternate solutions? She is is a lot of pain. She hasn't slept for 2 days and puts ice nonstop all day and it only decreases the pain momently. What can she do?

Answer 1

She can try heat to see if that helps but only if the doctor says it's ok.  I know you don't want to hear about getting medical help but because of how much pain she's still in she really needs to get back in touch with her doctor to let them know what's going on.  There may be something more going on causing this pain that needs to be looked at.
