“Can an ultrasound show tendinitis healed?”
My wrist tendinitis is getting better after 1 month off of work. My dr ordered an ultrasound. But I can’t get an ultrasound until the end of next month. Can an ultrasound show the healed tendinitis? Patient with a history of tendinitis, will the tendon look different with a healthy tendon or the same in the ultrasound? I just want to know if it is worth it to do the ultrasound.

Ultrasound won’t show too much in regards to the tendinitis. Maybe a little bit of extra fluid around the tendon. In my opinion, I’m not sure it’s worth the trouble if you are getting better.
