Tim, given the above its best you do seek professional advice, perhaps a GP first on the tendons. Geoff's experience is concerning to say the least. My case was acute tendonitis
(BTW: the Physio I saw at Town Hall medical centre, Paulo, is from the Italian town where Pinarellos are made in Treviso).
