Hi Hinker

Glad you found it useful.

RE the bruise - Sorry I may not have understood what you said. Was there a discolouration indicating a real bruise or was it just tender to touch? Maybe it doesn't matter. Anyway you could discuss it with your PT.

Just in terms of times: you are right that tendons can take quite a while to heal so two months down the track is still within healing period. However if it is due to other things such as trigger points - these problems can be self sustaining so worth getting it all checked out.
