[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s rowing.[/quote]

The truth is that if she’s hurt now, rowing isn’t the kind of sport in which she can work around it and magically get better later. She needs PT and time off. The problem with tendinitis is that doing almost anything to it can make it worse and/or lead to tendonosis, which is really hard to come back from. I had tendonosis in my Achilles that became worse from PT, because it actually increased the inflammation.

My advice is:

1) 2nd opinion from another doctor
2) new PT practice to get a fresh perspective and plan. Look at bios and find one that has a former rower on staff. 
3) see if she can have on-water and erging video looked at by another coach, someone at a different club or even a college athlete. The rowers in my life have had a lot of injuries, but back, ribs, trap and hips are the most common. With the right form shoulder stuff is not common, so I worry she’s doing something funky to cause this or that her core and back muscles aren’t balanced.[/quote]
