    I think tendon injuries are much more complex than how clinicians see it. Here it is suggested that tendons should be loaded and never rested.
    I think it should be different treatment plans for different tendons.
    I had posterior tibial tendon pain for 5 years and only thing worked for me was resting in complete non-weight bearing for 30 days and have 20 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. 3 months after this treatment I could start walking again. When I had this treatment suggested some doctors were extremely against it. But the doctor in hyperbaric oxygen therapy told me I might have partial and micro tears in my tendon, since I was always stepping on it, it wasn’t properly healing.
    This was the only time I could feel a bit relief.
    For 5 years I tried ozone shots, ESWT, endless sessions of physical therapy, massage, custom made orthotics, New balance 990 shoes etc. they also gave some relief but didn’t fix the issue.
    Every doctor has a different view on this.. Some thinks zero shoes would help while others offers higher stiff shoes with lots of cushioning.
    Some says put ice while others suggest that ice is delaying the healing process.
    Very difficult to get a solid answer. I wish everyone a speedy recovery and finding the way works best for them.

      You had that for 5 years then thats on you. You didn’t listen to your body due to your ego. You probably didn’t listen to your therapist hence you had that for 5 years. If you did the right rehab then it wouldn’t get to 5 years. A bit of self reflection goes a long way.

      @@jacklauren9359 Sure I was very young and didn’t know how to listen to my body. I only followed what healthcare professionals told me.
      However I can clearly say the clinicians have very opposite ideas about tendon healing. The first time I visited the doctor; it was the very next day of injury, he told me I was perfectly fine and just gave me pain killers & ibuprofen cream. I continued to work as a tour guide which requires a lot of walking. He didn’t tell me to rest it or take care of it or put me in a walking booth. I think that was the biggest mistake. After a week of pain I went back and they did mri and xrays, with more blood&bone tests. Then they started physical therapy and I was told that it wasn’t anything serious. I think I wasn’t informed enough and it was misdiagnosed.
      Moreover most of the hospitals have 1,5 tesla MRI, not 3 tesla. 1,5 Tesla MRI doesn’t show the micro tears on tendon or lesions which makes the doctor think you are perfectly healthy. They can’t see the lesions or tears, they only see broken bones or severe injuries. So I can say in 2024, the body monitoring systems aren’t very well developed. When patients aren’t informed or diagnosed correctly, it is not left to our egos to decide. We follow what doctors tell us. We ask a healthcare professional who studied human body for years. I just write this in case if anyone is suffering from foot pain and doesn’t know what to do, maybe it can give them some ideas. I am writing what worked for me and how I was very confused with opposite ideas. Of course each case is different and it needs to be handled individually.
      Let's be kinder to patients who are already suffering instead of judging the lives we have no idea about. Ego, self reflection or blaming the patient never cured a sickness before. 🙂 Stay blessed my friend 🌿🌿🌿

      @@mahsheenman I actually didn’t do any exercises because it was worsening my pain. Especially stretching was making it very bad. Since I had a micro tear which cannot be monitored on MRI, I really really rested my feet. I did complete non weight bearing for a month. Then I started to walk slowly. If I needed I used crutches and wheelchair. I really let it heal by itself, never forced it.They say I needed to load the tendon but for my case it was very painful and it was worsening. However my case might not be same as yours. I couldn’t perform single leg raises which shows that my posterior tibial tendon wasn’t functioning properly. Now there are more resources out there. Especially on instagram you can see different podiatrists talking about different cases, showing how to make self-tests. Maybe you can get some ideas from there too. Wishing you a speedy recovery. 🌿

    I rested a tendon for 6-8 months. Worst thing I had ever done. As soon as I lightly loaded it, approx 50% of the original weight, it felt better by end of week. Tendons respond well to healing under loading.

      @@abdoukarimsanneh Yes, absolutely. Best thing I ever did was train it again carefully. I moved to a 'time under tension', 'slow and controlled' style for 3 sets of 15 reps. It was heavy weight but it wasn't max weight, maybe 25% less than my max.
      I used to fear triggering it or overdoing it. I no longer fear if I "piss it off" anymore, because I know how to effectively load it. It used to get me really depressed. Of course it depends on the cause of the issue, like I had poor shoulder mechanics so I had to work on that also. But now, I am pain free.
      I had many months of aches and pains, thinking I just needed to rest it, and it never healed that way. Loading it appropriately was the best thing ever and I kick myself for wasting SO MUCH time, I lost a lot of muscle

    I'm watching this because I'm only 25 and I have gluteus medius insertional tendinopathy with a 5 mm partial tear at the undersurface of the tendon and associated iliopsoas bursitis in the right hip (as seen on MRI imaging). The left hip report mentions evidence of minute joint effusion at the femoral head, possibly "within normal ranges". Until the MRI, doctors dismissed me. X-Ray and Ultrasound were inconclusive.
    I've had pain for over 3 years and I've been doing physical therapy for 2 years now. It seems to only get worse but if I stop the exercises the severity peaks and the pain becomes unbearable. It hurts to walk, to sit, to lie on the right side, I can't run and in fact the 5 mm tear likely came from trying to run as I thought doing that would strengthen my legs. The pain recently crossed from occasional but frequent, to constant. There's no stability in my right hip and it even makes my right knee buckle inward with pain (Trendelenburg gait - at only 25!!).
    I recently purchased a book called Lower-limb Tendinopathy: (Achilles, Patellar, Hamstring and Gluteal) by Daniel Lawrence and I'm eagerly waiting for it to arrive, to see what I can be doing differently.

Have the doctors mentioned anything about the tendon tear healing on its own and if cortisol shots would help with the extreme pain? You are too young to be having these issues. I'm 27 and have pain so extreme in my forearm/wrist that it keeps me up at night. Apparently, tendon related issues are more common than anyone realizes...

      @@hyperashitive3217 Hi there, yes, this tendon pain also causes sleeping problems as there is no comfortable way to stand, sit, or lay (it's the hip). I actually did see an orthopedic surgeon about it, who said I need to just continue doing exercise therapy, more of it, and maybe with specialists. Corticosteroid injections have the potential to actually weaken the tissues around the damaged tendons, and reduce their capacity to bear load, though they may provide short term pain relief. I was also advised to do what I can to reduce the pain so that I can do the exercises (like taking anti-inflammatory medication). Another thing that was mentioned is that a lot of the pain is actually nervous system sensitization, and doesn't necessarily mean harm has occurred. But it does mean that you can mend the tendon to a healthy state and still have pain.

    4 years with pain, and only with medication, I was even misdiagnosed that my triceps hurt because of cervical hernia, even when the hernia was very light, the doctor apparently didn’t have the knowledge to diagnosis it with laboral overuse lesion , even when the doctor was described the kind of repetitive long-hour factory work I was doing ( hopefully well-translated , because the translator was the secretary of the hiring company I was working for, and for some reason all the women who work in the same labor got diagnosis with cervical or dorsal hernia by the same doctor , and still after quitting the job, years after they can’t function normally... I asked many times a MRI but was denied, “ not necessary “-he said , and to prove it , lay my head back more strongly and of course the light hernia radiated to my arms until my fingers.... hope he gets rich ...the laboral insurance doesn’t cover lesions related to the spine, I was told later by this secretary... so.... welcome to Japan! First world country!... everywhere, there are injustice... people taking advantage of the need of other people , eg. migrants who don’t know the legal system or the language ). Just when I went by myself to another doctor and tried in my poor Japanese to explain, he diagnosed me with overuse lesion, but the treatment is only medication).

    How is it that the ends of the Achilles tendon are in compression when the foot is in dorsiflexion? It would seem like the whole tendon is being stretched out, not compressed. Also, are energy storage loads present when the tendon is in compression or when it is being stretched? For the Achilles tendon, would this correspond to the foot being in plantar flexion?

      @Spreadlove5683 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I guess when the heel is raised, the calve muscle is constricting, which could stretch the Achilles tendon (aka energy storage load I think), but I don't completely understand how when the heel is lowered, the Achilles is in compression. Like, maybe the calve muscle is stretched out and pushes the Achilles tendon into compression? I would think both the calve muscle and Achilles tendon would be stretched out. I guess maybe not.. maybe the muscle and tendon are always in opposite states to one another.

    You mentioned that a tendon with pathology will always have that pathological part but may still have as much or more of a non-pathological part as a normal tendon. Wouldn't that imply that a pathological tendon has grown bigger (in compensation)? If so, what about a shoulder problem due to an impinged supraspinatus tendon, where the problem arose to begin with because the tendon has to exist in a very small sub-acrominal space, where, if everything in the shoulder doesn't move correctly, the tendon gets impinged. And now, that pathological tendon has grown larger, even while it still has to occupy that same small space. Wouldn't that tendon now be even more subject to impingement because, basically, the tendon has grown too large for the space and will forever be that way, since the pathological part never goes away? And so, wouldn't the problem be self-perpetuating for the rest of your life?

Worst thing I ever did. 6-8 months lost due to me resting my tendon. I'm having a hard time getting a good footing on it, since it's just got weaker in the down time. I will say this though... as soon as I started loading it again carefully, it felt great. If I had of known loading was so important and resorted to my first protocol, I wouldn't be where I am today.
      I don't know what your exact issue is, but one guy on TH-cam Natural Galliant Bodybuilding did a video on exercises that cause tendon pain. He said you want to do the same exercise, but at a lighter weight. The logic is the weight is too much, but you want to keep the movement so you know it's targeting the tendon.
      From my experience, loading has always been the answer. It's finding the right load that is the problem. A good rule of thumb is any weight that doesn't cause pain, even if that means you are dropping it in half. Maybe rest a few days to allow inflammation to settle, if there is any. I try to load my bicep twice a week through DB floor presses and bicep curls; both incorporate shoulder flexion. I hope this helps. Just don't give up mate. Tendons respond very well to load... the right amount of load. Trial and error. Write down exactly what load you are using and keep going til you have no pain under load.

      Compressive forces occur in tendons where the tendons pass bony protuberances. During specific movements, the tendons become compressed against these bony protuberances.

I currently have a distal bicep tendinoopathy and have been doing isometric bicep curls for 45 seconds, working my way up weight every 2 weeks or so (as well as bicep and upper forearm self massaging). In my case what would it mean to add compressive loads/ forces? Does that mean to get a band and wrap it tightly around my bicep tendon to increase blood flow? Or is it a specific movement pattern that the term 'compressive forces' refers to?

      Outside of compression is meaning no compression on the tendon. So in a squat, when you’re going into deep knee flexion at the bottom of the squat, the quadricep tendon is in compression.

    Unfortunately this isn't supported by the experience of patients. Many people with tendonitis eventually develop partial or complete tears in the tendon, going into a downward spiral of tear, regrowth, and re-tear. I wonder if this team has been selectively choosing their patients.

      And the worse is when what caused the lesion was work, but still you have to work with your arms and hands( in my case) , or whatever they work with. Even when you try to , repetitively factory work doesn’t help....
