Dr. David Ryan - The Truth About Tendon Pain.

[webmaster]

If you have had tendon pain for a period of time longer than two weeks, you should be very aware that it is not likely tendonitis. That's right. And if you would like to know more about tendonitis and tendonosis, then read on...

After reading this it sounds like I have tendonosis (even though my doc said patella tendonitis). I have had this injury since november and thought it was nothing and kept working through it. Finally, after going to the doc I decided to take time off and so far it has been 6 weeks w/ no quad training. Is physical therapy really even worth it in this situation? The injury has gotten better w/ time off but after reading this article it sounds like completely shutting down isnt the best way to go. The only problem is I never experience pain... It's more of a stiff or tight feeling and I feel that when sitting down...I also feel the stiffness when accending on body squats. On a scale of 1-10 for pain (if you even want to call it that) I would probably rate it a 2. Any ideas guys/advice would be greatly appreaciated guys, this injury is killing me....

well i lifted for about seven years and my arms felt great i felt powerful, but a year ago i was doing my rutine and all of a sudden this pain came over me like 'WOW" it felt like someone had stabbed me in the arms and man did it hurt. I stopped for a little while, i figured it may go away in a couple of months but i was wrong.I dont know if it will take longer to heal but i wish it would hurry because it was my dream to be a bodybuilder and if i get a second chance i will do it right like i was born to do it.I love lifting but i told myself that if i could do it again i would just do pushups they dont hurt the way weights do and you can take them anywhere.So doc i was just wondering what could i do to keep my mind off weights for a while and keep it to where i can get my tends to heal back the way they used to be.Do you have any solutions to what i can take to heal them again, im desperate.

in the same boat, got diagnosed wrong and now ive been outta the gym for 8 months, starting to get back now with this helpfull link. Things that ive found that work to ease some pain is using a heating pad alot before/after working out or physical activity, msm took some pain away, and im waiting on glucosomine. all i want to do is get back to big lifting.

This is a warning to anyone who is thinking about asking Dr. Ryan any personal advice-

I emailed him a question I had about tendonitis, and I recieved one of the rudest responses I have ever heard! First, he makes fun of my enthicity, being Canadian, and then he goes on to say that I should go back and read his article twice more to see if I could understand it properly. Completely insulting! The very first line of his response was;(Quote) "move to America where we have real healthcare!" It sounds to me like he has taken one too many roid shots in the ass- what a grump!
