I've suffered similar symptoms in the past and still feel it slightly now and then, but it is much better than it was a couple of years ago. I wasn't getting any progress for over a year and then started to do friction massage (rubbing perpendicular to the tendon) for a few minutes, a couple of times a day. Within a week of starting that is when my symptoms started to diminish. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but that seemed to help me. I hope you all feel better soon.
