As someone who has dealt with lingering plantar fasciitis for like 2 years, I literally feel your pain

I tore a muscle in my shoulder rolling over in bed.

Do you have a more in depth link to that exercise, rep counts etc? I took up HEMA at 38 and working with one handed swords always strains that for a day or two. Sounds like a great technique to help with that.

One more anecdotal success here, though for golfers elbow. Flexbar plus exercises with a small sledge hammer (pronation, supination, flexion, extension: change how far you hold from head for more or less effort) while on work calls. 2 week improvement. Far better than a brace.

Now I need to find the Achilles exercise talked about in that article

I don’t want to be “that guy” but mine is so much better following some graston work and some ultrasound with some tape support. She was a chiropractor but also not really (no cracking or weird stuff. It still loaches occasionally but it’s not like it was

Regret to inform you that it gets worse.....

If you'd like a recommendation: After rest, anti-inflammatories and ice there is something I've seen players get relief from over the years. Fill a container that's just big enough for your hand to stretch into with rice. Push your hand in flat and make a fist, 15-20 times. Do 2-3 sets. Might help

Hydration!!

Yeah these young kids🤣

49 is a charley horse from stretching my legs in bed before I even started to get out I’ve also made my jaw muscles swell up visibly from yawning too hard

Y'all need to work out more and get your bodies more robust/resilient.

As Plato once said, waking up without pins and needles sensations, is a life not worth living.

If you can find someone who does graston and ultrasound followed by some tape support (type of chiropractor but not cracking type person) - it works!

Get an elbow compression sleeve, wear it a few hours a day, KT tape it if you need round the clock relief, I'm a habitual injurier

It really depends on you and how bad the tear is… PT can absolutely work but didn’t for me. I needed surgery, which helped immensely although I still get twinges and can’t really put a lot of weight on it, lift anything overhand, etc

always never do this vs never always do this

It’s gonna take you a long time to shake those chiropractor quacks from your algorithm; trust me.

Just look for that one weird trick, and you're golden

I have it too from gardening and the only thing that helps is vigorously stretching in the morning (nearly throw that arm out) and yoga 🤷🏻‍♂️

FWIW, mine took months of very light physical therapy. It took forever, it felt like it would never get better.

It sucks. It will never go away if you don’t get treated.

Old means everything takes 10 times longer to heal.

Get real PT! It will fix you right up…I know.

That's the best part about tendinopathies, they take months to heal!

If you’ve done the rest and nsaids thing for more than a month, go to an orthopedic sports medicine dr and get a steroidal/lidocaine shot. It will reduce the inflammation and get it back to normal. Unless there is structural damage it is pretty a one and done thing.

Ryan I just got some relief on my tennis elbow. Find out if Small intestine or triple warmer meridian is chiefly involved. Also if the pain is sharp and taring or dull and consistently sore. HealingToolbox atttg male

Wait till you get to the age where there's no longer a reason these things happen

If you don't have one already l, get a Chattanooga gel ice pack. It is like some weird clay-like gel that stays cold for a long time and really conforms to joints like knees. Really is a game changer for ice packs.
