"Tendonitis" of any kind can take a long, long time to just get better but never really heal completely. This may be why you're not progressing as you think you should.
As an example.........
I injured my left elbow tendon 10 year ago and it still bothers me from time to time plus it is still weaker than it was. I don't think it will ever be 100% again.
