tendon problems?

Hi everyone, I have a question. I am UCTD with anti Ku antibodies. Does that make me prone to tendon/soft tissue injuries ? I seem to have a LOT of issues with this although I'm 67 and quite active considering. It takes ages to heal up. the latest problem is spine pain and lumbar pain which won't resolve (now 10 weeks). xray and ultrasound were "unremarkable". I think I strained my back doing exercises for rotator cuff surgery rehab. 🙄. Im on low dose HCQ. Best wishes!
