Tendonitis?!
Question: my doctor said that i have tendonitis in my ankle [about 3 inches above that bone that sticks out on the outside of my ankle]
does anyone else have this or know what to do to make it feel better?
my doctor said take alive or advil and ice and heat, but thats not really doing too much for it.
also: how long does this last? will it come back once it stops hurting for awhile? what can i do to prevent it from coming back?

My dad gets it in his wrists, and there's not much he can do to make it go away except for resting them as much as possible. It lasts anything from a few weeks to months. But he says caffeine makes it flare up, so you could try cutting out coffee for a few weeks to see if it helps.
A friend of mine says her dad cured his by eating lots and lots of cumin. But I'd check up with a homeopath before emptying the spice rack down your throat.
TENDONITIS SUCKS MAJOR BAWLZ. I had it since a couple of years ago. I had to go to a physical therapist for a few months, because mine was really bad. If it really bothers you, I'd suggest that. If it's not so bad, then you can do little excercises that stretch it out. For example, leaning a book against a wall so it's at an angle, then you put the afflicted foot on the book and try to get your hip as close to the wall as possible. You can probably find some on the internet, too.
