Tendonosis is a label for a scenario where tendon tissue starves and dies.
Surgeons see tendonosis when doing surgery for tendonitis and other tendon issues....the tendon tissue suffering from tendonosis looks dull and grey, whereas healthy tendon tissue looks bright white.
Surgeons also report that most all instances of tendonitis have some tendonosis involved as well (which makes perfect sense when you understand the cause of tendonosis).
So, what is Tendonosis?
It is when muscles are too tight for too long and they pull the tendon taut, and this (basically) decreases circulation to the tendon. The outer layers of tendon then start to starve and die.
Eventually, this can weaken the tendon structure so tears can happen.
Why do you have tendonosis? You have it because the tendonitis dyanmic (too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation, and nutritional lack) is happening to everybody right now...slowly developing and progressing. The resulting tightness affects the tendon.
This can affect the achilles tendon, shoulder tendon, wrist tendon, elbow tendon, knee tendon, etc. It doesn't matter where, because it can happen anywhere.
How do you treat tendonosis? There's lots of ways to treat it, but only a few that are successful. You MUST reverse the factors causing it, or it won't go away. And you must reverse ALL the factors causing it, or it won't go away.

I am dealing with the same thing, i have also had patellar tendonitis for over a year and a half, probably because of basketball and jumping and i am really sick with it. I wanna heal once and for all, i am 18 and i have been resting for 2 months, but there isn't a change in my tenson. Please help

@Pierremontquaker03 6 лет назад

I have quadricep tendinosis and partial tearing - my physio has suggested yoga/pilates (which should help with my tightness) and I have also found a multivitamin which is high in collagen which will hopefully boost my nutrition side of things to help with the healing. What this guy says in the video makes complete sense to me.

@relder3171 4 года назад

Hi @TendonitisExpert, thanks very much for the video, probably the most informative I’ve seen. I was just diagnosed with mild tendonisis in my fingers, caused by overtyping, after 3.5 months of chronic pain, and am hoping if you might be able to provide further guidance on how to fix it. I’ve been prescribed anti-inflammation and muscle relaxant medication, which presumably will counter muscle/tissue tightening and inflammation. As for nutrition, I see recommendations for Vitamin C, Zinc, Magnesium, and bone broth, in the RU-vid comments below and on your website. I also see icing praised as beneficial. Aside from the above factors (muscle relaxant and anti-inflammation meds, vitamin C, zing, magnesium, bone broth, and icing fingers), is there any other treatment, diet or supplement you would recommend to help fix finger tendonisis? Hope you see this and look forward to your reply.

@TendonitisExpert 3 года назад

Admittedly my recommendation is biased, but I suggest the complete plan at www.TendonitisExpert.com/reversing-wrist-tendonitis.html Doing 'some things' can be helpful. Doing the right things, and enough of the right things, is the pathway to a fix, in my humble opinion. Maybe the anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants will work, but I only work with people it didn't work for, so again, I'm a bit biased when I say 'I hope it works but I'm incredibly doubtful that it will' (because there's reasons you have tightness and pain, and anti-inflamatories and muscle relaxants don't fix/reverse those reasons).

Don't know if this will get seen, but I could use some insight, and I'm waiting an agonizing amount of time for a doctor's appointment. I draw often, and I grip my pen too tightly. Every now and then this results in some numbness in my thumb, which I've chalked up to pinched nerves. Back in march, that numbness hung around for a week, and I noticed a small sensitive band near the base of my thumb (above the web, palm side) that would send a little jolt of pain if I rolled something over it. Pushing didn't seem to cause that pain, specifically rolling. I still figured "eh, pinched nerve" and went on, since the numbness subsided after a week of rest. Fast forward to two weeks ago. I overdid it with the art, and I accidentally dug the corner of my desk into that same area on top of that. No doubt it was irritated already, but I think I might have traumatized it too. The slightest most minor rolling over that area causes a SHARP pain. Worse still, the band is longer now, thick, and very firm. About .7 inch in length, running up from around that web over the first joint of the thumb, ending halfway up to the middle joint. I've been splinting, icing, taking viatamins, and using Voltaren, and it just won't go down at all. I'm panicking. I'm not sure what this is exactly, and I am terrified that it could be tendonosis that was left untreated and has now gotten worse. I have no difficulty with movement, no pain on movement, no stiffness. But the hardness, tightness and pronounced band under my flesh is alarming, and the pain of having something roll over it is making me paranoid to pick up or grip items. Does this sound like a tendon issue? Does this sound severe? I am desperate for answers and stressed way the hell out...

I have tendonosis in my shoulders. Likely related to osteoarthritis in my neck. I've been a heavy smoker for some time and feel that this has caused a lot of my ailments preventing the proper nutrition to be absorbed and adequate blood flow. Im trying to get into calisthenics and have been doing hot yoga. My question is, on top of the treatments you suggest, should I be powering through those workouts? I feel unclear because from what ive heard, it seems that if I stress the arear with exercise it will allow my body to start doing its thing to heal that area?

@TendonitisExpert 5 лет назад

"I have tendonosis in my shoulders." You have a tendonitis dynamic that among other things, caused tendonosis. "Likely related to osteoarthritis in my neck." Almost certainly. Osteoarthritis and tendonitis/tendonosis share various causative factors: too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, and nutritional lack. "I've been a heavy smoker for some time and feel that this has caused a lot of my ailments preventing the proper nutrition to be absorbed and adequate blood flow." It definitely hasn't helped, in a variety of ways. "Im trying to get into calisthenics and have been doing hot yoga. My question is, on top of the treatments you suggest, should I be powering through those workouts?" I wouldn't power through them, no. I would do what you can do and 'gently' push the edge. "I feel unclear because from what ive heard, it seems that if I stress the arear with exercise it will allow my body to start doing its thing to heal that area?" Mmmm...depending on what you mean, I'm going with 'no it doesn't work that way'. Stressing osteoarthritis area isn't going to help anything at all. Stretching/lengthenening is good. Too much, not so much. THe problem with 'pushing through it' is that 'it' is a scenario where things aren't (and can't) work correctly. So trying to make a car that's not running very well go as fast as it possibly can...isn't going to help the car run any better...and comes with risks.

@vickysyed78 3 года назад

I am quite worried as all that you said in this video makes comlletely sense for all my tendon problems that I have in my body(elbow, ankle, wrist). I have very tight muscles, and this makes me easily exposed to tendon strains. do you really think that tendonosis can be cured without surgery? I am pretty sure that I have developed tendonis on the front of my ankle(from 3 years) and I can feel that connective tissue is quite damaged because I don't have flexibility on my ankle at all.

@TendonitisExpert 3 года назад

"do you really think that tendonosis can be cured without surgery?" As a general statement, yes. Absolutely. If you have a lack of mobility, you may or may not have tendonosis. You definitely have tightness and reduced ability (of one or more muscles) to function properly.

Hey man I saw you were answering some comments and thought I'd give it a go. I've had an issue with what I assume is my chest tendon for about a year. When I raise my arms infront of me and press them against the side of my chest I can feel a dull ache around the armpit area where the chest and shoulder muscles join, if i were to retract my shoulder blades while doing this I feel it more. I do weightlifting and what mainly causes the pain is pressing movements, mainly bench press and dumbell press. I've tried resting for extended periods of time and slowly building back to heavy weights but eventually the pain returns and I have to stop. Could this be tendinosis?

@TendonitisExpert 7 месяцев назад

Could be. Its predictable. But really, it's almost certainly a tendonitis dynamic. Meaning, a progressive scenario of increasing too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, and nutriitonal lack. Basically, you get tight, and stay tight. THen you go to the gym, and your muscles are like a half squeezed sponge...already too contracted and thus only having so much contraction left. Decreased ability for the muscle to function properly. Always working, always fatigued, etc.

I’ve had pain in my quadriceps tendon for months but the results of an MRI I had about two weeks ago said the extensor mechanism was ‘unremarkable’. Is it possible to have Tendonitis/osis that doesn’t show up in a scan? Also, would you happen to have any info on the quadriceps tendon? I feel like neither my Ortho or my PT actually believe me and are not really interested in helping. Thanks for this video, it was very insightful 🙏🏻

@TendonitisExpert Год назад

MRI's can only visualize what they can visualize. And we, in general, including doctors in general, think that there can only be pain if there is 'damage', and/or a single spot of significant inflammation (which they of course think is 'the problem' instead of a symptom of the larger problem, rarely if ever asking WHY there is inflammation and/or damage in that spot). So, yes. it's possible to have pain even when nothing shows up on a scan. "Also, would you happen to have any info on the quadriceps tendon?" Info like what?

Hello! How can I tell whether I have an Overuse injury, tendinitis. Arthritis, or a carpal tunnel? Every doctor I have spoken with tells me a different diagnosis. Ps. Very grateful to have come across your videos! It has been so frustrating trying to figure this out since doctors have failed me! Thank you so much! These give me so much hope.

@TendonitisExpert Год назад

Funny how one can get so many different 'diagnosis' from so many different professionals. 1. Brief history of progression of symptoms? 2. Symptoms? It's almost certain that I'll tell you the diagnosis doesn't matter, (because) all of those are caused by the same three main factors (too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, nutritional lack), but maybe you'll surprise me or say something that sheds light in a different direction.

@andrewvaldez6658 5 лет назад

Have adult acquired flat foot and posterior tibial tendinitis or osis. It has been a year and I've given into ordering custom orthotics. If the orhotics work and stop my pronation, will my tendon be able to heal? Any advice would be great!

@TendonitisExpert 5 лет назад

As a general answer, either the otrhotics will get rid of symptoms and then you'll be happy and will keep wearing orthotics, or they won't work/wont get rid of symptoms. In either case the causes of the fallen arch and tendon irritation will still be in place (which if the orthotics work, then great who cares). If the orthotics don't work, then it's probably time to focus on fixing the lower leg dysfunction that is causing the symptoms.

Ik you get a lot of questions but I was first told I had quad tendonosis about 3 years ago and I played college basketball 3 years with symptoms of it. Pain varied at times, and it was weird it seemed that whenever I took a break from activity that involved my knee it would always come back worse so I always made sure I was doing something with it like running or jogging wise. Now this being these last 5 months been probably the longest I’ve been without playing basketball in a long time and my quad tendon doesn’t feel good a running motion and I want to try it because in the past I feel like it helped but I’m afraid of a tear. Also I feel like a may have some minor tears in the tendon which made me wonder if some of the stretching I’ve been doing has been hurting it. With this I also wondered if focusing on eccentric loading during workouts has been worsening it as well. I just started taking collagen too cause I figured I needed some more nutrients since I’ve played with this for 3 years and then patellar tendonitis years before this even came about.

@TendonitisExpert 10 месяцев назад

"Ik you get a lot of questions but I was first told I had quad tendonosis " Ok, but what does that mean, really? And is it helpful? Nope. It means there is degradation of a quad tendon. But what it REALLY means is that the quad (and other things locally) is too tight, not functional enough, and the tendon is paying the price. Unfortunately, you weren't told that. "it was weird it seemed that whenever I took a break from activity that involved my knee it would always come back worse " It didn't com back worse, it just continued to get worse while you rested, because that's how it works. A progressive tendonitis dynamic (too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, and nutritional lack) that quickly or slowly gets worse over time unless you take actions to reverse it. "Also I feel like a may have some minor tears in the tendon" Why/how exactly? "which made me wonder if some of the stretching I’ve been doing has been hurting it." Unlikely. It's more the progressive dynamic that is hurting it. Stretching at this point either helps, helps a little to keep it from getting worse if done regularly, or can't help. "With this I also wondered if focusing on eccentric loading during workouts has been worsening it as well. " Unlikely, certainly not directly. It's more your muscles etc aren't functional like they should be, so they just can't do what they need to do (including relaxing/staying lengthened), so things just 'get worse' over time wether you're active or not. "I just started taking collagen too " Can't hurt. "cause I figured I needed some more nutrients since I’ve played with this for 3 years and then patellar tendonitis years before this even came about." Nutrition is key to a functional machine (your body is a machine, run on nutrients.....don't have enough, it's all downhill from there).

PLEASE PLEASE HELP! I’m a baseball player who has played almost year round since I was 6 I’m now 16. The pain crept up on me. My pain is in my shoulder. I can throw for a while even though it feels a little weak, but then the day after is terrible and it takes me about a week to recover from. I don’t really know what to do I’ve gone to physical therapy for about 7 months now with little progress. I would literally do anything to get my throwing arm back. I mean it when I say that too! My therapist said it was because some of my muscles were weaker than others. He said I had scapular dyskinesis and quite a bit of inflammation after I got an mri. Is there a strong chance that my arm is permanently damaged and if it is how can i actually find out for sure so I can address the problem! Or is it a nutritional thing because I would do that too. I’m desperate anything you could give me would mean the world to me. I know it seems like a little problem to many but to me baseball has been my world since I was little. There are bigger things to appreciate I will admit and I’m very blessed. If you could help me in any way I could never thank you enough.

@TendonitisExpert 5 лет назад

Good news/bad news, you're still hurting because of good portion of the causeative dynamic creating your pain etc has been ignored. Some muscles are weaker than others? Great, 'strengthen' them. Oh, that didn't work? Well....uhhhh, let's just keep doing that then. Yes you can get your throwing arm bck. No there is not a strong chance that your arm is permanently damaged (well, it will be unless you correct the lack of function...it's kind of a one way trip for a variety of reasons unless you do enough of the RIGHT things to counter the factors that are causing pain/problem. "Or is it a nutritional thing because I would do that too." As per the video, nutrition is part of it. If you don't deal with the nutriiton, then the massage/stretching/etc isn't likely to work. Well, it hasn't, so...the proof is in the pudding as they say. " I know it seems like a little problem to many but to me baseball has been my world since I was little." Again good news/bad news, I love working with motivated people. It's going to take some time and effort and diligence. You're going to learn a new set of skills (that will likely be necessary to keep you playing strong through college etc...at least you'll need to have the skill set so if you need it, you have it. You're going to keep throwing, so you need to learn how to keep your arm/shoulder in top functioning state. And when you do that, you'll throw better/stronger/faster/over a longer period of time. Get and start working with the Reversing Shoulder Tendonitis program. Use the contact form on the site I'll answer questions and keep you moving in the right direction. www.TendonitisExpert.com/reversing-shoulder-tendonitis.html "There are bigger things to appreciate I will admit and I’m very blessed." Yes, and you should be greatful for all the great things in your life. And....learn how to fix your shoulder/keep it fixed, life will be even better.

Help! Ive been having throbbing and nerve pain in both of my upper arms (where the lower deltoid connects to the arm) for two months now and it’s constant. Highly suspecting that it is tendinosis based on previous overuse activities of the last year and a half and other symptoms of weakness and pain in activities 24 hours+ after doing the activity (making me believe its a tendon issue). However the throbbing and nerve pain just seem odd 1. have you ever heard of a case like this before? 2. If you have is there a good outlook for a good recovery if I’m able to follow the right protocols

@TendonitisExpert 5 лет назад

1. Yes. 2. Yes. There is pretty much no such thing as a 'tendon issue'. What there is, is a tendonitis dynamic (too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, and nutritional lack) making the ecology of the area not work very well....and that results in various symptoms like nerve pain, tendon pain, tendonitis diagnosis, tendonosis diagnosis, etc. Tendonitis and tendonosis are for all intents and purposes the same thing. I wouldn't focus so much on 'what is is' as I'd focus on 'what is causing the symptoms'.

Hi, very insightful video. I have a question. When you say "insufficient nutrition", do you mean overall unhealthiness, like bad eating, or just that your tendon cannot access that nutrition? And if so, how can you get your tendon to access that nutrition? I have had what I am sure to be tendonosis for the last 6 months and have gotten PT and gotten and MRI and nothing seems to be working. My muscles are tight, but not matter how much foam rolling/dry needling/jamming a lacrosse ball into my muscle I do, nothing seems to loosen it up. I try to keep inflammation triggers low although it happens alot because I walk around alot (rectus femoris origin is where it hurts), and I am a very healthy eater and track calories and all that. My entire rectus femoris feels just what I can describe as diseased, as if lacking nutrition, is the only way I can describe it. What can I do to get that nutrition into there? Thank you for the video.

@TendonitisExpert 2 года назад

I mean, not enough nutrition taken in versus one's nutritional requirements. The thing with a tendonitis dynamic over time is, long story short your nutrition requirements increase. So by the time you're feeling pain etc, you're just not going to eat enough food to get enough of what you need (specifically need). So eating 'healthy' is great, but everybody has a different definition of what that is so it's hard for me to give the statement any credence. Maybe it's 'healthy', whatever that means, but it is nutritionally dense? (And even if it is, doesn't matter by the time you're in pain. Well, of course it matters, but it's not going to fill the nutritional hole you're in because by that point your requirements are so high.).

I saw a PT about longhead bicep after I injured it the 2nd time and they gave me rotator cuff exercises (fair enough) and some scapula work. I didn't really learn a whole lot, but I did follow their exercises. For the most part I feel let down by them, once again having to seek out my own knowledge. 1st time injury I overcame it by pressing off the floor a lot lighter, didn't stop training chest (which is when it would flare up), or even biceps. The floor presses really felt good for it and seemed to work wonders. I got back and went harder in the gym then I ever had before... 4-6 months later and bam! 2nd time re injured, I decided to take time off it in case it didn't heal the first time for a solid 4 months, but the ache never went away. Jumped back on the floor presses, and immediate relief. Only thing is, biceps now flare it up for some reason. I also can't stretch it at this point as it flares up the next day (thought 1st time around stretching was good). I assume the resting did more damage than good, as now I can't even do my routine when I hurt it the 2nd time. Besides stretching, avoiding aggravating exercises and better nutrition, did you have any advice? A lot of people say damaged tendons respond well to appropriate loading.

@TendonitisExpert Год назад

Before I respond, when you say 'injury' do you mean an actual rip/tear, or just pain (without rip/tear)?

@@TendonitisExpert Sorry, just pain without rip/tear. There was never an accident, I believe purely overuse related.

@TendonitisExpert Год назад

Eccentric loading is a method of attempting to repair a tendon. However, I think that's a silly method, because it ignores all the reasons that got the tendon to a point that it is having symptoms. Tendon pain is a symptom of a larger problem. Tendonosis is a symptom of a larger problem. Tendons pain is a symptom. Tendon pain is not 'the problem'. Avoiding aggravating exercises might be fine in the short term to reduce new irritation into an already irritated dynamic, but again, ignores the causes of the symptoms. Stretching can be helpful or even very helpful, depending on where you're at in the tendonitis dynamic progression... at a certain point stretching can't help much if at all, because the muscles can't relax/can't stay relaxed.

I have tendonosis in medial ankle the posterior Tibial tendon in the inside of the ankle. Would Shock therapy ((ESWT) with prp injections help this? And having an autoimmune disorder like psoriatic arthritis/ rheumatoid arthritis contribute to that.

@TendonitisExpert 11 дней назад

Rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis are results of Leaky Gut. Which also points to nutritional insufficiency. Both lead to/contribute to the tendonitis/tendonosis dynamic. Shock wave therapy is 'hard' massage. It will help as much as it can, but ignores the nutritional insufficiency and inflammation process so is doomed to fail. PRP injections are great for helping a spot of tendon heal, but 100% ignore the causes of that spot needing help...and thus doomed to fail.

Really helpful video. I’ve been diagnosed with tendinosis around my adductors and iliopsoas. Been struggling to get it better but with reading it seems like I have been doing the wrong sorts of exercises and stretching too much putting the tendon under a lot of tension. Recent week I have found isometric eccentric exercises to have helped. My question is could tendinosis of my affected tendons cause nerve compression. I have been getting some slight numbness to my skin over the front of the thigh which I believe is meralgia paraesthetica. Could that be caused by the tendons being thickened and enlarged ?

@TendonitisExpert Год назад

Some info on eccentrics. www.tendonitisexpert.com/eccentric-heel-drops.html "My question is could tendinosis of my affected tendons cause nerve compression." No. That's not at all how it works. If nerve compression happens, it's because of progressive ongoing muscle tightness. Which is what is causing the tendonosis.

@TendonitisExpert 2 года назад

At 15 it's unlikely that tendonosis is a problem (though predictable that it can/will develop eventually unless you fix the problem). It is highly likely that your muscles etc aren't function adequately because of the tendonitis dynamic (too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, and nutritional lack). Thus muscles aren't absorbing the load and it's transferring to the tendon, which got irritated and swollen.

Nutrition is good. Collagen is good. If the tendonosis is from a lack of collagen, then yes. But chances are very small that that's the case. So...probably not really worth it. ESPECIALLY if that's all one does to try to correct the problem.

I have tendonosis in the distal bicep tendon which was confirmed via ultrasound. It's not painful with normal activities, but under load it is acute, and depending on what I do can flare up for a few days after. Anything with a supinated grip is painful. With a neutral grip I can train around it at the gym, but lots of exercises are out of the question, i.e pull-ups, barbell rows. I have been seeing a physio for around 4 months - treatment is eccentric loading (dumbbell curl, eccentric only with moderate load), light high rep concentric curls (with theraband) and supination as well as cross fibre massage. I really feel like I can't shake it, so I'm now looking at getting a round of PRP, which is relatively expensive. My physio warned me that it could rupture if I'm not careful. Any advice?

@TendonitisExpert Год назад

4 months (5 now?) with a PT and he still thinks it can rupture? So all that treatment isn't helping at all? (That's a rhetorical question, as lack of improvement isn't surprising.) You can't shake it, because the PT is ignoring all the causes of the tendonosis and treating you (and poorly at that) as if the tendonosis is THE PROBLEM, when it's actually a symptom of the larger problem. PRP can help the tendon heal faster, but the larger problem is continually pushing negatively on the tendon. So....even if it magically heals today, it will be back. Ignoring the causes of tendonosis/tendonitis doesn't fix the tendonosis/tendonitis. I recommend starting to work with the Reversing Bicep Tendonitis program. www.tendonitisexpert.com/reversing-bicep-tendonitis.html

I'm a professional Ballroom dancer and was diagnosed with Focal peroneus longus tendinosis after having had an MRI. I've been in a moon boot for over two months already as the orthopedic surgeon told me to keep it immobile but it is not getting better at all - in fact I'm pretty sure it is getting worse. (He gave me a cortisone injection before I got the MRI scan which I only read afterwards the damage that could do!) Do you have any advice please? It is becoming unbearable to sit around like this all day but I'm also scared to follow my gut (and you tube) instead of listening to an orthopedic surgeon.

@TendonitisExpert Год назад

First off, I would never tell anyone to do something other than what a doctor prescribes. Doctors know best, they're doctors. If I was a professional ballroom dancer with the symptoms you describe, I wouldn't wear the boot. It doesn't help anything and it makes things worse. Immobilization does a variety of bad things, including resulting in connective tissue shrinkwrapping down which compresses everything and helps make muscles less able to function properly. Rest just doesn't work. www.TendonitisExpert.com/rest.html So you have tendonitis. The MRI showed inflammation of the tendon? Why would it be inflamed? Because too tight muscles are pulling on the tendons and attachments 24/7 (and now, in the boot). Then you walk, dance, etc, and every time the too tight muscle contracts as it's already pulling too much it pulls even more. This irritates and aggravates the tendon, which sends a problem signal to the brain, and the brain orders inflammation and more tightness (to guard and protect). I don't do advice, but if I were in your ballet shoes, I'd get and start workign with the Reversing Achilles Tendonitis program. you don't have achilles tendonitis, but the program deals with the entire lower leg, because peroneus longus tendonitis and achilles tendonitis are both entire lower leg problems. www.TendonitisExpert.com/reversing-achilles-tendonitis.html

1. Carnivore is awesome. if only because it eliminates negatives like inflammatory foods/drinks, the evils of sugar and carbs, etc. It allows the body to function better. Which makes everything better. It's not a 'fix your ankle' diet. It's a 'make your body work better' way of eating. I housesat in Uruguay for a 8ish months. It's carnivore heaven. 2. Yes the Reversing Achilles Tendonitis www.TendonitisExpert.com/reversing-achilles-tendonitis.html program will help. It covers the necessary nutrition, and will allow you do reverse a lot of the pre and post-injury tightness etc. At this point, things hurt because muscle and connective tissue are too tight and so nothing can work correctly. Basically.

Pretty sure i have about the same thing. I've had problems with my fingers for 1.5 years now, and they do not seem to be going away. I am(/was) a very active climber, so obviously a lot of stress put on my fingers because of that. The symptoms started when i began gaming a bit more regularly, at which point i started noticing inflammation and problems curling my right hand middle finger especially in the mornings. Eventually had to stop gaming, but didn't accept climbing was a factor until half a year later. The problem spread to all fingers but my thumb, although more pronounced in my right hand. I have only recently been able to take proper rest due to climbing being a very important hobby for me (aka my own stupidity), and still having to do computer work due to my studies (also until recently). Inflammation is not as much a problem now, but i have to warm up my fingers in the morning after which they work fine during the day. The real problem is that i know the problem will get worse if i climb or have to work with computers too much, which seems to be the case. Doctors diagnosed it as tendonitis and left it at that, only options were cortisone injections or surgery (i'm 18 so obviously not a favorable solution). Hopeful the problem will start fixing itself slowly, minimal healing progress in the left hand.

Not like you're (probably) thinking that it would. My presumption here, but you're probably thinking that the supplement will help the tendon/tendon ruptured (repaired and healed) get more healthy/strong and stay more healthy/strong. It just might do that to some small degree, but the tendon isn't the problem. They dynamic that lead to the rupture is, which is muscle structure(s) that are too tight/not working correctly (not working as optimally as they should be to whatever degree) and thus not absorbing force like they should and thus that force goes somewhere (like where ruptures happen).

@afeb2010 3 года назад

Hi there, I have an MRI report that found tendinosis of my rotator cuff at the supraspinatus and infraspinatus and I am appreciating this information very much. The principles makes sense as tendinosis definitely is a symptom. However, although the simplicity does appeal to me, I am afraid that it might be too simple to be entirely accurate in my case? Regarding tightness, for example, should I be stretching the supraspinatus or infraspinatus reported to have tendinosis? Regarding the nutritional deficiency you mention in your video, are you advocating for a particular type of diet that can repair or address the tendinosis? Or when you refer to supplying “nutrients” to the “injured” area, are you referring to providing those nutrients to the area through the use of exercise? Also, there seems to be conflicting information regarding this, but from what I understand the difference between “tendinosis” and “tendinitis” is that tendinosis no longer has that inflammatory component, which is why physical therapists or other practitioners treat the area through manual techniques in order to create an inflammatory response to that area (I.e., supply blood to the area diagnosed with “tendinosis” that lacks). Why, then, do you mention that there is inflammation to remove in order to address the tendinosis? Should we not be attempting to create an inflammatory response in that area instead? Not a critique of the video at all as I felt it was extremely informative. Just looking for some clarification in order to understand what to do in my particular case. Hope to hear from you soon!

"Regarding tightness, for example, should I be stretching the supraspinatus or infraspinatus reported to have tendinosis?" Yes, see if it's helpful. "are you advocating for a particular type of diet that can repair or address the tendinosis?" No. Once you're in a big enough nutritional hole, which you are when you're complaining about symptoms, you're just not going to eat enough food to get enough of the nutrients you need. Circulation is good, brings nutrients, but you have to have enough floating around in the first place. Tendons don't have direct blood supply. "..but from what I understand the difference between “tendinosis” and “tendinitis” " They go hand in hand, for the most part. If you have tendonosis, you have an active tendonitis dynamic. "which is why physical therapists or other practitioners treat the area through manual techniques in order to create an inflammatory response to that area (I.e., supply blood to the area diagnosed with “tendinosis” that lacks)." If that worked, people wouldn't be here. "Why, then, do you mention that there is inflammation to remove in order to address the tendinosis? " Because inflammation process in the area increases pain levels, which makes things tighter and makes more inflammation process, which pulls more on the tendon and which uses up more nutrition....repeat repeat repeat.

I don't see my chances very high but maybe @TendonitisExpert will answer my question. Please answer... Do you think I have tendonosis? To make my story very very short: Always been a gamer, added intense gym training to it for 4 years, then had to stop gym to write master thesis 14+ hrs a day for 6+ months in front of pc. After I finished my thesis, 2 weeks later I was gaming again, sudden sharp burn, warm, pulsating pain and wrist immediatelly felt weaker/different. Doc just gave pills and while the non-stop pain went away, the wrist still flared up when I used a mouse or made specific movements (like drying hand with towel) throughout the day. So I switch mouse to left hand and try to rest right wrist. 3 months later, gradually left wrist also started to burn. Difference: There was NO sharp burst of pain such as with right wrist. From all tests only MRI shows something interesting: Left wrist: 'Changes in the tissue have been observed' Right wrist (the one with the sharp pain): 'Changes in the Tissue AND partial rupture of the TFCC (ulnar side) EXACTLY where the sharp pain occured 6 months prior.' Yes, it took me 6 months to get MRI done. Also in both wrists inflammation liquid has been observed. I was trying to do any stretches to help out, but while the left wrist was doing 'Ok' (as in sometimes it was ok but sometimes I aggrevated it with stretches) the right wrist was almost ALWAYS aggrevated by the stretches, no matter how careful I was. After 3 months of trying, I gave up stretching the right wrist. My questions are: 1. Do you think I have Tendonosis in both arms and this is what may have caused rupture in right wrist during the gaming session after master thesis? 2. Wrist Doctors have suggested surgery for the partial rupture in the right wrist. Should I do it? I have been in pain for 1 year now. 3. Can Tendonosis be healed WHILE working a full time 40hrs/week job? I just started a new job and I like it but I am in pain almost daily. I would be willing to give up the job for now to focus on healing if that would maximize my odds. Please answer, that would help me immensely!

1. Tendonopathy is any tendon injury, technically, including tendonitis. So depending on who you talk to..... 2. I don't know. Depends on how extensive/intrusive the surgery, how well your body does with it, how well it's done, etc. 3. Tendonosis isn't just something magical that arrives and then heals 100 days later. Tendonosis is (primarily) tendon cell death due to starvation (the cells not getting the nutrition they need). THere's a whole dynamic that leads to this. If the dynamic remains, and/or continues to progress quickly/slowly over time, then the 100 days thing is pretty questionable. Tendonosis is a symptom of a larger problem. Vitamin c is very important for connective tissue growth and maintenance. Zinc is important too. Manganese I don't personally use/deal with, but absolutely, your body needs the nutrition it needs to be able to function properly.

@@TendonitisExpert Thank you v. much for the answers. So far from talking to experts 1 thing is clear: To heal tendonosis I need to rest the wrist and give it the correct exercises. But something seems to be wrong with my right wrist. There is this partial lesion (and maybe more?) because some of the movements which should be harmless to a wrist that suffers from 'just' tendonosis have been badly aggrevating the right wrist.

The experts suspect the miniscus (whatever the difference between miniscus and discus is, lol). Either way I will give it one last shot, rest the wrists and try to give them the correct exercises for 3 months but if this fails I'm getting an athroscopy to check out wtf is going on in that right wrist. It feels very different from the left wrist. The left just burns all around the arm. The right wrist has this pain coming from 'deep' inside if that makes sense. A totally different kind of pain/discomfort.

How is squezing something with your hand going to fix tendons, tendons that have tendinosis..tendons that had been used to squeeze things? 3. There's no such thing as 'just tendinosis'. Tendonosis is a symptom of something. It's not an isolated problem that just shows up for no reason. You don't have to have a lesion (rip/tear injury) to have pain or disabling pain. Too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, and lack of nutrition. Maybe you do have actual rip and tear injury, that's possible. But that goes right back to WHY?

Hello! I really feel that this is what I’m experiencing. for the past 2 years I’ve had this strange throbbing posterior tibial pain. Countless doctor trips and physio sessions later… they have ruled out a stress fracture with an X-ray, They have ruled out shin splints from the amount of time off I’ve had from days off trying to recover. And nothing has worked after 2 years! I am now just 3 weeks away from an MRI scan, would tendonosis show on an MRI scan? And will they look for tendonosis? It’s a VERY tiny throbbing sensation that lingers with me 24/7 and when I run (my profession) I can only get around 1/1.5miles in before I feel the this pain worsen.

@TendonitisExpert 2 года назад

"They have ruled out shin splints from the amount of time off I’ve had from days off trying to recover." That in no way rules out shin splints. If 'rest' worked, nobody would have any tendonitis/tendonosis problems. I wouldn't worry about the 'tendonosis' thing, as you are/in the way you're thinking about it. Tendonosis is a symptom of a larger problem/dynamic. Even if tendonosis does show in the MRI, they're going to proclaim that that is the problem. It's not. So theyll tell you to do some things, you'll do them, and waste time and effort and time lost running because of it. "And nothing has worked after 2 years!" To be accurate there, 'nothing you have tried so far has worked'. Some people say "I've tried everything!"...also not accurate. If you go with my program, the mindset is: in the lower leg you have too much muscle and connective tissue tightness, too much inflammation process, and nutritional lack. These three factors work together to decrease your body's ability to function correctly (and thus, all sorts of possible symptoms). It's a progressive dynamic (quickly or slowly getting worse over time). Do I know exactly what the 'throbbing' is? Nope. Presuming it's not a blood clot or something, then based on the bare bones basics of how the body works, you have pain and problem for the above three reasons. Get to work on reversing those three reasons, and you'll get better. And then if there's something out of the ordinary at play, it will be easier to find/identify.

@TendonitisExpert Год назад

The quick and easy(ish) and probably most accurate is that you are nutritionally insufficient. For instance, if you don't have enough magnesium, your muscles get tight, stay tight, compress joints, pull on tendons and ligaments, and muscles can't absorb force like they should and results in, well, everything you describe. Fear is valid. And, I assert that fear is a function of not knowing how to fix the (causes of the) problem. Once you start getting better, confidence in the reality of a 'fix' grows, and you apply yourself more, and things continue to get better. And your doctors just stare at you for years and shrug their shoulders and hope it goes away so you don't come back in worse than before (meaning, their advice/treatment failed. That's tough for a doctor ego to face, so they generally don't face it. "Hey, let's do more tests [since I have no idea why this is happening to you.").

@TendonitisExpert 10 месяцев назад

Good question. Which brings up the questions of 'what is tightness' and 'why does stretching help/why and how does it help'? Tightness is muscle fibers contracting short. There are millions of muscle fibers in any particular muscle. They are all taking turns firing (contracting short) and resting. Some bunches of muscle fibers get stuck tight, so tightness isn't a single muscle tone, it's lots of different spots contracting more or less. Stretching forces a lengthening of the overall structure. Which is a good thing. But usual stretching doesn't target the small spots that are stuck tight. Length is good. Contracted short is bad. And, if you don't have the necessary nutrition, muscles are literally stuck in firing/contracting mode, and can't relax/can't stop firing short.

I don't particularly get into food(s) other than home made bone broth (www.TendonitisExpert.com/tendon-supplements.html) becasue: that's a whole other topic, and because tendonitis isn't really a tendon issue, and becaus if you're hurting (and thus short on specific nutrition) it's not likely that you're going to eat enough of the food (volume) to get enough of the necessary nutrition. I'm a fan of therapeutic supplementation (and then when you're out of pain etc you can focus on food to (try to) keep yourself there. So I guess my answer to your question is 'homemade bone broth'. See the link above.

Could PRP help with regeneration of tendonosis?

@TendonitisExpert 2 месяца назад

Yes. Long story short, PRP is good/helpful/effective at regeneration of tendonosis. But, and of course there's a 'but', but the factors causing the tendonosis are still causing the tendonosis while the prp is trying to heal it. Which makes the prp be a short term benefit at best.

@zohebpasha96 7 лет назад

what if you hyper mobility?

@TendonitisExpert 6 лет назад

Then your ligaments don't hold your joints as securely as one might, which means they can get irritated more easily than most, then you have lots of pain enhancing chemical from the inflammation process floating around which increases your sensitivity to pain, then muscles get tight to 'guard and protect', then there's extra tension on your tendons, then the tendons get less circulation/nutrition into them, then tendonosis. I'm not sure if that answered the question.....

How do i fix it if i have it in my radial head tendon ?

@TendonitisExpert 6 месяцев назад

Same way you fix it if it were in any other tendon. Reverse the three factors of the Tendonitis Dynamic. Tendonosis is a flavor/symptom of the tendonitis dynamic.

@danjohnsonspam 3 года назад

Hi Joshua. great video. One question I was left with was how tendonosis can be diagnosed. I have what I believe to be tendinosis of the upper hamstring (ischial tuberosity area), due to a month-long episode of tendinitis which went untreated due to misdiagnosis. I've been given a referral by a new doctor for an ultrasound, but 3.5 months have now passed sincel the initial episode and the tendon is no longer in acute pain but rather just a constant nagging discomfort which occasionally flares up into slight pain. Given this, would this tendonisis even show up on the ultrasound? Or do I really need an MRI for this?

@TendonitisExpert 3 года назад

Well, let's go this direction instead.... You get a positive for tendonosis diagnosis. Or, you don't. What's the functional difference in what you're going to do about it? No difference. You have tendon pain. The tendon is not the problem, it's a/the symptom. If there's tendonosis, it's the result of, a symptom of, the larger causative problem. You should go after the causes of the symptoms, I say. If you do have tendonosis, the only way to fix it is to remove the causes so it can heal (basically). If you don't have tendonosis, you have to do the exact same things to remove the causes.

@danjohnsonspam 3 года назад

@@TendonitisExpert Hi Joshua, I see what you're saying. I guess my desire to get a test, specifically one that's as sensitive as possible in detecting tendon atrophy, would be that a positive diagnosis of tendonisis would rule out some other causes of pain in/around the ischial tuberosity area (namely, ischial bursitis, which the second doctor also mentioned as a less likely but possible cause, as well as some others which he didn't).

@danjohnsonspam 3 года назад

@@TendonitisExpert Also, I see what you're saying about the root cause. But if it's tendonosis, then it seems that the root cause of the DISCOMFORT (and occasional pain flare up) 3.5 months later is going to be the degenerated tendon tissue, which first has to be fixed (via therapy, surgery, whatever) for the pain to go away. True, if there is a root cause biomechanical issue (or nutritional issue) that caused the initial tendinitis episode 3.5 months ago, then that needs to be addressed too so as to avoid a repeat of the issue. But (assuming it is tendonosis) before I fix the root cause which led to this current mess in my tendon, I need to actually clean up this messy tendon tissue first. Because if I don't first clean up the mess (the tendonosis/the pain), there's a decent chance that I won't be able to return to work next month (as a teacher, where I'm on my feet all day) and will subsequently lose my job, insurance, and ultimate the ability to pay for treatment in addressing that root cause.

@danjohnsonspam 3 года назад

Anyways, I've been given a referral for a sonogram/ultrasound. But I'm ultimately wondering whether this test will be able to pick up atrophied tendon tissue when there is no inflammation, for example if I get it done on a day like today when there is no acute pain but rather only some slight discomfort. Should I be pushing my doctor for an MRI? And will I increase the likelihood of picking up any tendinopathy if I wait until a day for which I have a pain flare up?

@TendonitisExpert 3 года назад

1. You already have tendonopathy...waiting a few days or whatever until you feel pain isn't going to result in anything new/bad. 2. If you have tendonosis, and/or if you have bursitis, the causes are the same. Tendonosis is a symptom. Bursitis is a symptom. 3. "True, if there is a root cause biomechanical issue (or nutritional issue)" There is a root cause, and nutritional lack is a factor. 4. "I need to actually clean up this messy tendon tissue first." I don't think you do. I think cleaning it up first will only be done with surgery, all the while you still have the causative factors in place, and surgery would make them worse. It's a little bit like stepping on a nail, looking at the wound and going 'geez, I should really do something about that wound', while leaving the nail still stuck in the foot.'. Gotta take the nail out. Gotta remove the causative factors. You've been told that the tendinosis is the cause of pain. In my experience, it's not. I assert that cleaning up the causative factors will reduce pain. In fact you may be pain free even with tendinosis. 5. Give the ultrasound office a call and ask them how effective ultrasound is at visualizing tendinosis (and/or, how bad it would have to be before it could be visualized). 6. Said another way, the tendon doesn't need to be fixed first. The causative factors need to be reversed first, otherwise, the negative factors keep negatively affecting the tendon...while you try to fix the tendon.

I injured my shoulder 7months back while doing exercise. MRI diagnosis came as supraspinatus tendinosis. Doctor said it will heal on its own but the pain is not going away. I could not even do a single half push-up. Please help 🙏

@TendonitisExpert Год назад

If it will heal on it's own, why did it show up in the first place? What were you doing when it got 'injured'? (If there's no tear, then there's no injury.) Why exactly couldn't you do a half push up? Pain? Or you couldn't actually push your weight up (not pain). www.TendonitisExpert.com/reversing-shoulder-tendonitis.html is what I'd get to work doing to return the shoulder back to pain free function. Presuming it was just tendinosis and not a tear. If it's a tear, I'd still do the program, but surgery may or may not be wise.

@simonrogers1898 Год назад

Tendonosis is degenerative, it doesn’t heal on its own. Progressively loading at 70% effort contraction for 30-45 seconds with eccentric or isometric exercises should relieve your pain while making the tendon more compliant and strengthening the surrounding muscles. Find a few exercises you can do once/twice a day in this manner and repeat daily for 6 months+

@steveyoung6847 5 лет назад

@@TendonitisExpert There seems to be a very small role of inflammation in tendinopathies and typically little is seen when these tendons are operated on. There is little data to suggest that muscle tightness is the cause of tendinopathies and that it is more related to under preparedness of the tendon being followed by excessive load. I fully agree with you that rest further degenerates the tendon via stress shielding. I'd be interested to hear of any high quality trials that support the use of stretching or that support an inflammatory component that you speak of with a degenerative tendonosis.

@TendonitisExpert 5 лет назад

"There is little data to suggest that muscle tightness is the cause of tendinopathies and that it is more related to under preparedness of the tendon being followed by excessive load." Pull on your finger very gently for six hours. It will hurt long before that 6 hour mark. Now imagine too tight muscles pulling on tendon and other structures 24/7. Excessive load is more a function of a muscle not working properly/not able to work properly. The tighter a muscle (or parts of a muscle) is, the less able it is to perform work. The less work it can perform, the less force it is able to absorb. That force goes elsewhere, for instance, the tendon. While it may be true that 'under preparedness' and 'excessive load' play a role, trials and data processes don't ask how or why under preparedness happens/exists nor why excessive load is actually excessive.

@steveyoung6847 5 лет назад

@@TendonitisExpert The example of pulling on the finger is probably the least scientific answer someone could give. There is evidence that insertional achilles and gluteal tendinopathies are worsened by the compression caused when stretching. As far as load management goes, there seems to be a very clear link with increase in load management. Load is load, yes biomechanics can sometimes have an influence but there is little data saying they have a huge influence.

@TendonitisExpert 5 лет назад

"There is evidence that insertional achilles and gluteal tendinopathies are worsened by the compression caused when stretching." If that's true, then my example is perfectly valid, and accurate.

@dougedoug2105 3 года назад

I have it in my Achilles Heel. I use to get tendinitis because I was an sporadic jogger. I’d run once every few months and I’d pull my tendon almost every time. To combat this I bought a jump rope and typically do it everyday as cardio. Big Mistake! Wearing the wrong kind of shoes with thick socks compresses my Achilles tendon and now I have two painful lumps which are supposed to be indicative of tendinosis. Massaging them feels amazing; Hurts and feels pleasurable at the same time but I think it’s helped alleviate the pain and decrease the size of them. Taking my time and stretching helps as well albeit to a lesser degree

@TendonitisExpert 2 года назад

CHanges to shape of tendons as you describe is indeed indicative. Remember, the tendon is just a symptom. The tendonitis dynamic (too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, and nutritional lack, is the cause) When muscles can't work correctly because of the above, then the muscles can't absorb force so jumping rope etc would predictably cause pain/problem.

@TendonitisExpert 5 лет назад

Depends on your scenario, but no. Lengthening the muscles/connective tissue of the legs is a great idea. Start light and work into it, don't go overstretching right off the bad as that can irritate the tendon (even though the muscle/connecdtive tissue lack of function is the larger issue).
