So...I'm seeing someone completely new and different.
My doc did volunteer that she would not inject the area where I have inflammation. FWIW she said that there was too much danger of doing injury to the tendon. I didn't ask her directly - she was just explaining one of the modalities she authorized PT to use and reassuring me it did not involve needles.
Will report back after PT.
