rightio, thanks for that todd.

Does it sound like tendonitis in your opinion or maybe something else?

I'm reluctant to do stretches if it's not tendonitis, the grinding and cracking has been going on for 4 weeks now with no swelling or general pain apart from the occasional pain with grinding, maybe once a day, but that is it.

I've re booked in with the doc in 2 weeks, will probably ask to go see a specialist if the grinding and clicking hasn't stopped by then.

Cheers!
