Tks WI... I go to physical therapy 3x a week for my disabilities... this is just another way it shows itself... just hasn't done so in this particular tendon before! I can go another few years without it doing so again, but usally what happens is as certain areas of the body are affected, they never go back completely to what they were before the flare.

It has eased up with the lifts... but then you could be right, I'm not walking on it much.. I had a torn tendon in my shoulder eons ago... before the injury... it took forever to heal.
