tendonitis

[bigkick]

Hope this is the right forum for this -- seems the right place to ask questions about training. Anyway, last fall I developed tendonitis in my elbow and it just doesn't seem to be getting any better. Anyone got any suggestions for treatment other than rest? That's all I keep hearing but it just isn't doing anything for me. I hate not being able to train... so I keep telling myself I can just power through. But as pathetic an injury as this may seem, the #@$% hurts and really messes with you!

Rest is the only remedy. I tried everything, ice, MSM, Glucosamine, shark cartilage, etc…nothing helped. Rested it for 1 month and I was good to go.

You can’t train through tendonitis, you are only aggravating the problem.

Thanks man. This is what I've been told over and over again and I guess I just have to accept it. So much for that magic potion I was hoping for. Ho hum.

I had tendonitis in my right elbow about 6 months ago. I tried to just train though it, but found that it only got better once I laid off the movements that were really causing me pain. I had to stop pressing for a couple of weeks, but was able to continue to squat, DL, row, etc. I was still okay to pull, but pushing wasn't good for me. If I had any soreness after a workout, I would usually ice it down for 15min to reduce any inflamation.

Tried cissus? Even with lengthy rest certain movements always bring back my tendonitis but as long as I'm taking cissus everything is a-ok.
