Is it hurting you still or has it become easier to get up to at least 3500?

It is not as satisfying as getting a whole room cleared and cleaned at once, but getting things done slowly gets the job done just the same, I am finding.

Tendonitis definitely hurts as bad as arthritis. Have they put you in a brace so that you don't use your arm so much or are they afraid that your shoulder will freeze up? I had tendonitis in my wrist, and it bothered me for almost a year, even wearing a drugstore brace. When I went to ortho, he put me on steroids while putting me in a brace that didn't let me flex the wrist at all. The combo of steroids and complete rest for it did the trick. In two weeks, it was feeling a lot better. After a month or so I wasn't even noticing it anymore. Haven't noticed it in almost a year.
