4 years of tendinitis and I'm only 20...
by Shaun
(Portland, OR)
I marked the painful spots in red
I was diagnosed with tendinitis in my right elbow at 16, and spent a short while in physical therapy until the insurance company said I was done.
I'm not sure what specifically caused it, but at 16 I went from couch potato to working 22 hours a week, plus school, and commuting 7 hours a week in a stick shift (40-year-old VW bug). I have tried my best to cope with the pain, but as a student (art major) it makes taking notes and keeping up on assignments very difficult.
Over the last couple of months, the pain has gotten worse and more persistent. I have pain in the base of my thumb, both sides of my upper forearm and above my elbow.
I have tried pain meds and braces without relief. I was forced to drop my drawing class at midterm because I couldn't keep up on assignments due to the pain. I'm in pain from the time I wake up, and it?s at its worst when I'm taking notes in class. My only relief is when I numb it with ice.
I am at a loss with what to do.

Joshua Answers:Hi Shaun.
1. Did you ever break your arm?
2. Fall on it badly?
3. Get yanked around as a small child?
It's possible that it was going from couch potato to heavy worker, plus writing/drawing, etc, and that irriated it and
now it's stuck at the bad end of a
Pain Causing Dynamic.
The
Tendonitis dynamic won't die down for a variety of reasons, including nutritional.
Clearly your youth isn't doing the job for you here. You need some help.
So.
1. Learn
How To Reduce Inflammation.
2. Understand
Magnesium for Tendonitis.
3. More protein. More good fats.
4. Might as well get
The Tennis Elbow Treatment That Works for a complete plan.
The reality is, you likely have nutritional and and physical tissue elements at play. Gotta cover all the bases.
Answer the above questions, and we'll go from there.
