Finally got my appointment with the consultant. Given the amount of time without recovery and the lack of substantial response to physio he recommended an arthoscopy and decompression of the tendon (more on this in a later post...). But we also talked about two other possible treatments (which would have to be privately funded). The first of these is blood injections into the tendon - the idea being that the platelets within the blood stimulate/help healing. Not something I have tried - but here are a couple of links:
