This is a Sensible Long-Term Solution
The woman in this story lives alone, which makes the doctor’s suggestion of completely handicapping her seem absurdly unrealistic. Tendinitis, though painful, has effective treatments that don’t require such drastic measures. It appears sometimes doctors opt for easier solutions rather than what’s best for the patient’s long-term health.
Thankfully, there are medical professionals who genuinely care. Physical therapists, in this case, managed to bring her tendinitis under control with appropriate treatment. As a result, 85% of her symptoms were effectively managed, proving that sensible, patient-centered care can make a significant difference.
