Why Your Tendonitis Won’t Heal!  

Why doesn’t someone explain how to rest a tendon while at the same time trying to strengthen it?

Been to 4 podiatrists over 10 years about my chronic ankle tendonitis. I've been offered surgery, braces, "Fred Munster" orthotics, inserts, physical therapy. Not a one suggested to increase blood flow. I started yesterday with a technique from 2 other RU-vidrs, and today am significantly better. I can't believe the relief in 1 day.

I agree and I think it’s important to eat healthy to avoid too many foods that increase inflammation like sugar, alcohol and processed foods. Keep active and strong 💪 Great advice doc❤

I got heel bursitis, plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinosis. Causes: 1. Bad sneaker shoes, it was crippling me more and more, I even had 3 extra insoles at one point. Regular insoles are bad, should be like rebouncing yoga mat. I switched to sandals, Trekmates, yesterday with yoga mat insoles and all sympoms are reduced by 80%, I am healing. Today I tested again new sneakers and bam my achilles tendon started to hurt, they were comfortable but i think it is caused also by the rounded outer heel-sole which makes it move forward and backward, compared to sandals which falls forward but not backward. Switched back to sandals and no pain. I search for sneakers with sandal-sole (like tyre rubber) and yoga mat insole. It is not same as no rebounding Flip flops which also causes tendonitis. I cut out a piece of yoga mat like material and fit it into my shoe ontop of its insole and it felt comfortable but still caused a stabbing achilles tendon pain. Update1: I put a cut out insole shaped piece of crosslinked polyethylene foam (XPE) beneath the regular insole as a rebounding buffer between inside bottom of shoe and regular insole and it works now if i walk carefully, I am bouncing but they are not ventilating so I stopped using them. I told about this to Reebok, Vans etc, so keep an eye out for rebounding insoles. Update2: I know the main culprit of bad sneaker shoes, beneath the removable insole is a hard almost nonflexible polyster-like bottom (it should be high resilience rubber), in comparison there is no hard bottom on sandals, the sandals only have soft parts (i guess TPR rubber outsole and maybe HR EVA insole). It is called sneaker or flip flops tendonitis, indoors I switched flip flops for sandals. Yesterday I walked 23 km with my sandals and felt no pain but with my regular insole sneakers that is very painful or impossible, i get stabbing pain within 100 metres. I removed the polyester bottom (can be done by shoemaker as well) and it feels more like a sandal now, maybe I will try to walk with my shoes soon. 2. I ate allergenic stuff and drank salted water which made my tendons stiff. 3. I did single leg calf raises before walking 3 hours non stop. Now I sit and do 25 calf raises as warm up before I go for a walk. 4. I used to walk down stairs forward like everyone. It caused my ankle joints to make a painful popping sound and pain in achilles tendon. Now i walk down backwards which is better for achilles tendon, ankle joint and knees or if forward then it is on a slope made for baby strollers or bicycles or on the grass beside the stair case otherwise take elevator down.

I have had a pain in my wrists and arms for a long time but just ignored it untill it was so bad i had to take sick leave from work this has helped massively now i know what i probably have thank you

I have this with my hip. I rest it and have done the physio. When I say rest, I mean I done the minimal I could. Think it’s healed, take a walk and the pains back but the pain is not only in my hip, side of thigh and knee, it’s now in my butt and inner thigh and it’s still agony at night. I want it gone.

The more accurate term used is tendinopathy

Great info!! Thank you 🙏

What if I have slight tear in my shoulder ! If I keep training it it will get worse ! So what shall I do I do rest jt ? And then hay shops I can can consume

The reason mine wouldn’t heal is because I have a congenital bone structure malformation that was hiding in previous MRIs. If you’re getting tendinitis repeatedly, find out why before expecting anything to help.

This makes no sense , says strengthening tendon but also rest . So which one do I do?

Wow this was super helpful!

Going to try this for trigger finger. Thank you.

Can you do another video on the steps to taking care of shoulder tendinosis.

My tendonitis is worsening, the medicine isn’t helping 😞

I got bursal fluid build up, tendonosis, osteoarthritis of the ac joint, and efacement of the edema from lifting a car

Appears I have tricep tendonitis from overuse (I'm a bodybuilder). I took 4 hard weeks off the gym (other than cardio, abs and legs). Going into week 5, I'm spending the next 2 weeks strengthening the tendon befote resuming regular exercise.

What are the nutrients needed

How do you know when the tendinosis is healed? After 3 months of rest and rehab and feeling pretty good, I tried rock climbing again. Then the tissue became inflamed again, lasting about a day afterward. Will that reaction go away with time, or is it just because scar tissue sucks?

More details on this, and how to determine if you have tendonitis or tendonosis.

How do you know when it switches? This is very frustrating. I’m 46. I’ve been lifting weights consistently since 19. This time around I’ve had the burning sensation for a couple months. Was training around it and decided to just stop training all together on my third week now and it’s still not healed. Nothing seems to change it much. Is this something you need to rest for months or what? What is the time frame estimate?

I have Medial Epicondylitis. If I rest the arm it doesn't improve. If I exercise the arm, no matter how cautiously, it makes it worse. How can I 'rest' the arm while simultaneously 'making it stronger'?

Mine was finally doing better after a year of resting it, and after becoming more active it’s flared up again really bad… How do you work out to strengthen it and rest it at the same time?

This case also happend with my left wrist. It has been a few month and it's not getting any better. What exercises do you suggest me to do?

Hey, so I've had wrist pain for about 2 years. Finally went to therapy after 1 year of pain and found out it was tendonitis in elbow/wrist. Therapy didn't help much and I will admit I have stopped doing the exercises. I'm a pretty skinny guy too ( 5'7 120 ) and not the best diet. With it being 2 years now what should I do?

I have wrist tendinitis that’s been unchecked for a year - what should I do

What nutrients?

Do collagen supplementation help?

Tendinosis of the Patellar Tendon, Swelling has not gone down in 5 years with unknown fluid build up under the tendon preventing it from resting naturally have not been able to straighten my knee since 2018

how do you strengthen and rest it at the same time?

While I was doing boxing seriously. Around 3 years ago I swung so hard and missed and damaged my elbow like a whiplash. It hasn’t healed at all and I have taken a lot of prolonged breaks from working out. It’s at a point where it hurts from nothing at all just my arm being bend as if to lay down and watch my phone. I believe it’s preventing me to some degree from working out properly. I can’t really do dips. Triceps movements are weak. Is this tendonisis?

I've had really bad tendonitis in my wrists and elbows for almost 3 months. my medicine hasn't helped a bit and I don't know what to do. I can't pay for any doctor visits and I have 3 months until I have to move. any advice would be greatly appreciated

Can you still run if there’s no pain just stiffness?

U just said improve blood flow to the area but also said rest ! So which one is it

What about arthritis? Anyway to loosen stiff joints?

What type of nutrition and/supplements are recommended? Suffering from bicep tendinitis and brachioradialis forearm pain

I my proximal bicep tendonitis DOES start to feel better is it ok to go back to exercises like pullups (at lower intensity and reps of course)?

Well anything on elbow radial head tendonosis

Hi, you said increasing raw nutrients, blood flow. What do you mean by raw nutrients? How can we increase blood flow? Elbow brace does work for tennis elbow? What supplements are good? When you said rest, do we need to rest completely or avoid hard activity? Please reply me as they are other people questions as well. Thank you

What would be good exercises to strenghten the tendons in the shoulder and bicep (where both long and short head connect to shoulder)

Massage gun for blood flow?

I’ve been doing bicep eccentrics and stretching the bicep daily for like 3 months now. My diets good as well. Nothing is helping and am about to quit lifting but do not want too. Any thoughts?

Hey man ,i tried to do pushup in early morning without any warmup after doing upto 6 reps my right low part of tricep close to elbow felt a sudden pain after that i cant do a normal pushup , but there is no pain whatsoever when i do my other normal things and doing normal things in day to day life there no pain on that part of tricep this happend to me 3 days before what should i do this only occur when ido pushup Hope you will read my comment Sorry for bad english

Will anti inflammatories like Ibuprofen help heal the tendonitis?

What nutrients does a tendon need?

So I have tendonitis in both wrist, what exercises should I be doing exactly to strengthen them?

Thats what i tell people. Those injections are just gonna rupture and frail that tendon overtime. No bueno. The right nutrition and vitamins plus staying hydrated and other active exercises plus rest is best.

Best raw nutrients to consume?

its been 4 months with it what can i do

Hey man apparently I have jumpers knees. Any tips ? I’m rly worried bcuz it feels so bad and it’s been same for 5 months. I was diagnosed 2 days ago and been doing this knee strengthening paper the sports med gave me since I can’t afford physical therapy. Any tips for excercises to heal this?

ok, now what? can you give a bit more information?

I have tendinitis in my ulnar side of my left wrist, and a split tear on both wrists and another split tear on the ulnar side of my right wrist. Been dealing with this for 7 months while going to OT. What would you recommend?

Damn I though for sure you would say one would need surgery. I ran outta my fish collagen, fish oil, and tumeric. just taking vitamins and homemade bone broth. those twist bars work well. btw I went to a chiropractor years ago and was absolutely pointless. he had me get ultrasound on my forearm...lol no fs given

Shark cartrlidge helps my tendinitis

How do you onow if it becomes tendinosis

How long until it turns degenerative?

Nice so rest blood flow and strengthen 👍will focus on that ! Gonna stop working out my arm so it can rest then I’ll do exercises to strengthen it after a month off or so. Gonna destroy leg muscles! Leg day Arnold tree trucks here I come ! Screw you tendinitis 💪

How long is too long??

Thank you for this information. I think I have an early onset of tendonitis or maybe it is full-on tendonitis, not sure. Here is my situation: I have been waitressing on and off for over 10 years, went back to waitressing last year and noticed for the first time tendonitis-type pain during, I'd say, near the end of my shift. Stopped waitressing last year for a good 7 months and just started another waitressing job about a month ago and the pain is coming back, I'd say 5-6 hours into my shift. By the end of the night, pushing the soap dispenser hurt. Should I completely stop waitressing at this point so it doesn't become degenerative? Would working only twice a week continue harming my wrist (8 hours shift)? Something tells me I need to give it up for good. Thank you in advance for your advice. 😊 Note: I did not experience any wrist pain during the 7 months off, the pain seems to only come back after a week or so of waitressing.

No such thing as tendonosis. You google it and it doesn’t come up. Only tendinitis
