    I just noticed your age. At age 17, the "-osis" process can occur, but it may not show up on the MRI. Did you just recently have a growth spurt? In those cases, muscle flexibility does not keep up...

    I'm a physical therapist and it's my business to make sure that people get back to doing what they want to do and don't re-injure themselves in the process. If you don't have a competition on the...

    YIKES! Taking Prednisone for symptoms that you can work through...that's like shooting a quail with a sawed-off shotgun! Tendinosus vs. -itis is most likely in the 35 -55 age range. You ask most...

    Thank you and I stand corrected. That was news to me and very encouraging.

    There's a sad medical truth that no matter what, everyone loses 1% of strength each year, for every year after 40. That means, to maintain strength, we have to work out harder each year. Sadly, not...

    That's good, so it would appear that two of the more worriesome possibilities can be ruled out. I read somewhere that with a moderate muscle strain, you can still be 25% weaker in that muscle for up...
