Why is my forearm swelling?
I am a 24 year old waitress, and have been working strenously for 2 years as a server, recenlty my arm that I happen to carry trays with has become visibly swollen, in some areas of my forearm accompanied with pain ranging from my shoulder, to the elbow, to the swollen areas of my forearm. A doctor told me it was tendonitis and gave me a five day cycle of steroids that did not make the swelling subside. My question is, if it's typical of tendonitis to remain for weeks with pain and swelling, and also should I be concerned that I was misdiagnosed for another ailment that could be severe?
Thank you for your question. Here is some information about tendonitis. If you are concerned, it would be best to see a doctor in person again as a a doctor cannont legally give medical advice or treatment suggestions over the internet.
