I would also suggest that you see an osteopath and get some massage and ultrasound on the area to disperse the inflammation.
You could also take vitamin C (500 mg. 4 times a day) to help the healing, but don’t take it if you have gastric problems.
Hope you’re better soon.

Thanks for the advice - Makes good sense.
I am quite enjoying the holiday from golf - getting some other things done! Being retired, we do play too much.
I will try the osteopath route - can't do any harm and may speed up recovery. The Vitamin C also sounds like a good bet - no gastric problems and maybe better than taking Advils.
Really appreciate the good advice on this site.
