What is Tendonitis? The good news is that it's a simple dynamic, relatively easy to reverse...and if you have tendonitis symptoms in multiple spots it's all the same thing (same thing in different locations).
"What does it take to fix tendonitis? not this or this or this". Thats not very helpful or positive towards people who do have tendonitis. You're only telling them what can't help them without getting into details about what could. You should also elaborate about what type of nutritional insufficiencies can affect tendonitis. It's a bit vague.
Hmm. How many hundreds of thousands of people annually waste time, money, effort, and hope on the common usual treatments that don't, won't, and can't fix tendonitis? (pain may or may not temporarily going away but that is not the same as a fix) People spend weeks, months, years, and decades on splints and braces and pain killers, rest, etc, because nobody explained to them why those strategies were doomed to fail.
So I'm not sure why you think it's not helpful and in fact negative to tell people what doesn't work.
@@TendonitisExpert I don't understand why you don't talk about what does work? Is it a big secret or something? Weird
I do talk about what does work. Just not in this video. And in the form of a complete plan of attack, since tips and tricks and 'hey do this one thing' aren't going to provide the results people want.
Actually - it’s not about what you need to do. It’s about what you need NOT to do. the tendon will just heal itself if you leave it alone for a solid month (or longer). so avoid it’s use entirely - because that’s how the tendon was strained to begin with (over use).
Sore tendon? Leave it alone long enough and it heals. Sore muscle? Strain it with no mercy so it grows and tones up.
Ice and Rest. That was the ticket for my ankle tendonitis. GOOD VIDEO! Thumbs Up.
I have it in both elbows. Both wrists. Left shoulder. I haven’t found one dr to help solve my issue. Massage helps for a few days but not permanent. Im miserable and appreciate what your video has shown.
I really really appreciate the info you are giving out, I think many people underestimate the body's need to get enough nutrients for proper function, and many accept a very simple "caused it's overused" reason then proceed to only opt for a temporary relief without understanding the underlying cause is something else. Currently nearing my mid 20s, just moderately active atmost and looking at my symptoms, I assume I have Achilles tendonitis , trying to figure out where in terms of nutrition I could be lacking, there have been days the pain is 90% gone and somedays it comes back with difference in intensity of pain, sort of in accordance to what I ate, eg. Right after a day of a rather not very nutrient dense food consumption, it was much more painful then usual. I will be trying out the treatment recommendations you have listed on your site hoping to completely rid myself of this chronic pain.... Thank you very much, I was very close to relying on stretches, thinking it was gonna solve it. I also wear minimalistic/barefoot footwear, thin flexible sole & wide toe box, and was starting to doubt if that was possibly causing it, yet at the same time I can't go back to my old shoes cause those give me this other type of sharp footpain that I couldn't figure out which now after switching shoes has completely subsided. The explaining you have done has made me understand what to look at to find actual possible cause of the issue. Many thanks to you
Yeah, it's a multi-faceted mechanism with various moving parts. It's great you're paying attention and pondering. It's required if one wants to get the mechanism working correctly again.
Barefoot shoes aren't a problem. Feet (and lower legs) that aren't working properly, is a problem.
One could argue that the number one thing one could do for health (and health correction) is switching to as nutrient dense a diet as possible. Which is not fruit and veggies, and certainly isn't processed foods.

Thank you very much, great explanation!
You are welcome!
Wau what a good information. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Good information thank you
I'm wondering, isn't stretching the muscles actually making them more relaxed and eventually removing tightness from them and the connecting tissue? Also, about rotator cuff tendonitis, I've been told that the rotator muscles are the one that keep the shoulder in the 'right place'. So when you have such tendonitis, those muscles start to weaken, because of the pain, inflamation and other factors, eventually bigger muscles start to overcome them, put more pressure and you end up with even more tightness and inflamation. That's why all the PT tell you to stretch and strengthen them? (Not really sure about this, it's just my conclusion after reading about the topic, but would be greatful if you can correct me if I'm not getting this right)
" isn't stretching the muscles actually making them more relaxed and eventually removing tightness from them and the connecting tissue? That's the goal/hope, but for instance if the muscle doesn't have enough of the nutrition necessary to be able to relax/lengthen/stop firing, then you get less to no benefit from stretching depending on how short one is on said nutritional factor.
"I've been told that the rotator muscles are the one that keep the shoulder in the 'right place'. So when you have such tendonitis, those muscles start to weaken, because of the pain, inflamation and other factors" THey don't weaken. Well they do some but primarily it's an issue of decreased ability to function so not able to produce as much work, and thus feel weaker. And, tendonitis is the result of what you describe, not the symptom.
As a general statement, yes PT's go with the 'you need to stretch and strengthen' route. Some few PT's are better than others of course.
Thanks one more time...i am understand all ready one year ago...👍👊but not to easy to get fixed, need to understand how our body works ...we losing rotation,we losing ankle biomechanics....muscle compensation, joints compresses leads to tendonitis...we need just turn musculature back,where belongs..to get natural musculature - tendons length. Fascia representing time Dr.Gill Hedley ...40 years ago...:(our Medicine just money...internet full with rubbish...I did 45 regular treatments and still not out from pain...because..answers simply..Thanks Tendonitis expert for gold information👍👊
I have pain in the inside of my lower arm often, but I also get pain in some fingers, my wrist, and the outside of my hand whenever I bend my wrist much, make a twisty motion, or apply too much weight... Does this sound like tendonitis? It just started recently.
It sounds like a tendonitis dynamic. Which basically means, things get tighter and tighter over time, and that causes all sorts of pain/symptoms.
Thanks for informing us! I'dlike to ask, should we start stretching when the inflamation & swelling completely dissapears? or along side? i have little swell in my peroneus brevis which i got from an ankle sprain, thanks!
If you're going to stretch, then wait till you can stretch without any of the 'sprain' pain. That 'bad' pain that comes with a sprain and recovery? Avoid triggering that when you stretch.
thank you for replying! i got sprain from basketball but then vertical jump exersices revealed peroneal brevis tendonitis at 5th metatarsal! physiotherapist didnt anwer anything just throwed me to machinery.. didnt go again thank you!
I suffered from knee and shoulder injury in same month my knee injured just when i was running in footballgame i felt like prick in right side of the knee pain goes chronic i fell pain just when i bend my knee and overwork or stress knee .
And same time shoulder injury in the jim i felt the same as my knee prick ... pain ... chronic pain ... just when overload or dtress my shoulder or knee . Its benn 4 years
Is that spot of pain on/in the joint? Or is it on tendon or ligament on top of the joint?
hey man question, so when you say lack in nutritional aspects, does that mean lack after the tendinitis occurs? or lack of nutrition was present and just makes this tightness presented as tendonitis?
Lack was present before. The 'worse' things get, the more the lack increases (because the 'bad' things eat up more and more nutrition..or...they cause requirement for more and more nutrition). One doesn't have a bucket that's some amount empty, one has a bucket with holes in it (so one needs much more than a bucket's worth).
@@TendonitisExpert very well explained thank you!
how would one ease back into normal/weightlifting activity while following one of the programs on your website? Should I wait until all pain has resided and weeks after to be sure my tendons are healed? Or should I slowly ease back into weightlifting/everyday activities when the pain has decreased substantially?
Just ease back in, pay attention, see what happens, and adjust accordingly. You have to test your limits/assess your current state, and you'll have to do that multiple times as you progress. It gives you good data, good feedback.
Pain isn't the problem. Lack of function is. As you learn how to improve your function (and decrease pain levels), you'll get a lot more confident about what you can do even if you're feeling symptoms.
Definitely don't wait for all pain to reside. Having said that, don't do so much, adding new irritation to already irritated dynamic, that you make things worse. Always push the edge but keep yourself on a progressively improving direction.
TendonitisExpert thanks bro getting better each day thanks to your program & its only been 5 days
Great. Keep me updated.
Do the work, get the results.
TendonitisExpert hey man : update , 10 days in of consistency and major progress. & you’re right about the pain isn’t the problem it is surely the lack of function. i feel more confident in doing things subconsciously because my function is better even if there is slight pain/discomfort. easing back in to doing daily things subconsciously.good thing i found you early so i can nip the problem in the bud before it got out of hand and became chronic. i’ll update you again in a few weeks.
Yep. Good.
Keep me updated.
What should I do if tendonitis has been caused by massive work overload due to me writing my master thesis on pc and now, despite being in physical therapy and correctly diagnosed as tendonitis (carpi ulnaris tendons), I have a hard time doing the very light exercises I've been given because it feels like the full-time job I have now keeps my hands in a slightly aggrevated state at all times.
I've done what I can to minimize the impact, pc work has on my hands. Full ergo set-up and wearing a wrist brace on right wrist while working.
Despite all these efforts it feels as if I cannot get really started with therapy/exercises because when I come home with a 'slightly sore' wrist and then additionally do the exercises I am supposed to it causes more pain afterwards.
I am thinking of quitting my job for a while to get this situation under control. I've been suffering for a 1 year in total now and trying to do the exercises for 1 month. How long should I keep trying until I know that it is hopeless ?
1. How'd things go since then?
2. Tendonitis isn't caused by a massive workload writing a master thesis.
It's caused by the tendonitis dynamic, a progression of increasing muscle and connective tissue tightness, inflammmation process, and nutritional lack.
Your body can't function properly and thus doesn't respond very well to the pt (presuming what you're doing in PT would fix the problem anyway, which it generally doesn't in the long term ).
You're body can't function properly can't recover properly, and thus feels like it's in a constant 'aggravated state'. It is.
It’s called disability , workers comp disability , get a dr note and rest your arms or what ever is needed .
There's no workers comp for doing schoolwork.....
Is the compartment syndrome or localized pain syndrom part of the tendenitis spectrum?
Compartment syndrome, not really. That's more a direct result of so much inflammation so fast that it can't get out fast enough (and continues to produce more fluid inside the compartment).
Localized pain syndrome can be a lot of things, depending on what it is and who you're talking to. What do you have going on?
Horrible lower quad tendonitis that I can't seem to kick. Have gone to PT, have done the pills. Nothing is working. Really unfortunate. What do you suggest is a good first step in the recovery process?
Lower quad like what...right above the knee? On the kneecap too? Below it? Where exactly?
What exactly have you done in PT?
Thanks for the quick reply. Pain tends to be right above the knee, and just to the right. I started foam rolling yesterday in addition to some resistance band stretches i've been doing. foam roller seems to be working. did for maybe 30 min yesterday and i'm not overtly sore.
PT had me doing some minor stretches and electro shock thing. Stopped going because I didn't see the value in spending $75 a session. I don't trust doctors.
You'd trust doctors if they got you the results you were looking for.....
You're going the right direction already. Foam roll it crap out of it (not too much at once but a lot/regularly over time). Then see how much benefit you get and how long it lasts and if some amount of regular foam rolling keeps it happy. If that works, you're in the easy stage, great. Moderate and hard stages you need a more complicated direction, that's where I come in.
many thanks for the quick response. this is a battle I've been fighting for close to a year. I want to say my squatting brought it on, but I have a history of abusive tendencies with my knees (was a huge padless skateboarder as a kid). Have tried everything and anything under the sun, pennsaid, meloxicam, numerous PT and ortho visits. All with the same advice. Stay off it. Ice it. And slowly you'll be back.
I think that advice is absolutely nonsense. Will continue to use foam roller and hot and cold applications. After my first day rolling, I can already slightly feel a difference in the pressure around my knee.
Again, great channel and thanks for commenting back.
Is there any suppliment to make your tendons strong?
Tough question to answer, as it's a nebulous question. The question implies that the tendon(s) are weak. Are they?
You would make a good politician. Talk all around the question and never answer it.
You would make a good voter. You ignore all the important parts and blame the wrong people.
Is tinnitus and bursitis the same thing?
Nope. Tinnitus is a ringing in the ears. Bursitis is an inflamed/painful bursa.
I don't believe I heard how to get rid of it. You just talked around it. Come to the point.
The title of the video is 'what is tendonitis'. Not 'now to get rid of tendonitis'.
What about knee bursitis?
Knee bursitis is knee tendonitis (everything from the videos: too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, and nutritional lack) th-cam.com/video/B0B9RIdb7zg/w-d-xo.html
But in this scenario things are such that the bursa (compressed from too tight structures clamped down over the top of it) is irritated and inflammed (very painful).
Bursitis isn't a bursa problem. The painful bursa is a symptom of the problem.
How can I get rid of tightness in the body?
Magnesium is the first place I'd start.
@@TendonitisExpert so taking magnesium supplements? What about foam rolling, massage or fascia blasting?
Again, that would be the first place to start. Nothing wrong with foam rolling etc, but if the muscles can't relax because not enough magnesium available....
@@TendonitisExpert okay so taking magnesium supplements can help this?
That would definitely be part of the solution, yes.
I think its "body itis"
When you hurt all over...yep!
Fix it
