Side effects for: Glyceryl trinitrate that have been reported include burning sensation, rash, swelling (if patch is used). Increased soreness after exercise may be due to overuse since there is less pain. Perhaps an alternate formulation (spray or ointment) might eliminate burning. Be aware of many precautions since this drug is indicated for heart conditions; treating tendinosis is off-label use.
