A member asked:
46f. was dx with insertional tendinosis l leg. dr wants to send me to pt. can i just treat it at home instead ? what kind of stretches do i do ?

Tendinitis: The reason you need to go to PT is for an evaluation of what exercises are the best to help; and not harm you. Then you can likely do them at home. But you need a proper evaluation first. So if your car was making funny noises would you take it to a mechanic or just keep driving and hoped it got better?
