what the heck is wrong with me???

I had lap RNY a little over two years ago...

I have recently developed tendonitis in my shoulder as diagnosed by an orthopedic doc...

I am now having the same kind of pain in both elbows...

is this weight loss related?  am I maybe deficient in something?  anybody have a clue for me?

I am planning to have labs drawn soon by my PCP...anything I should look for??

thanks for your help!!

have you been tested for RA?

Diane have you been on antibiotics recently like within last 6 months? Like Avelox , Keflex  or Levaquin? All three cause this problem for many people.

I developed severe tendonitis  in shoulder, arm down to my fingers not once but 4 times before I connected the dots & did some research and this is a major problem for some people. Saw many specialists and tests and it was tendonitis and would you believe I had to take Avelox again for 14 days, I got to 9 and had to stop. It is the only drug that clears my sinus infections up and I am suffering as I write this.  It's going to  take me months to get back to normal but it did all 3 other times. This time it has settled in my shoulder upper arm and shoulder blade...feels like a knife in my back only after I have been alseep a few hours...the shoulder is 24/7.
