Any good treatments chronic tendonitis?!
Question:
Any good treatments chronic tendonitis?
I do not like taking nsaids. I have been doing well with the exercises the rehab center taught me, but I had been on bed rest for almost two months. I started exercising again and my knee had been acting up again. My elbow has also been flaring up worse than usual. Any suggestions would be great. My local herb shop recommended something called IFC or something, Is that any good?
Answers:
it sounds like you are doing everything right. only recommendation is that may be you are going too fast with your exercisel. remember that after resting for nearly two months, you are deconditioned and need to go slow with your exercise even when initially there are no pain.
taking NSAIDS during the initial rehab phase is also a good idea since you may be causing some inflammation during this time.
Remember something some herbal medicine vs. prescribed medicine. Herbal have not been tested. True that some herbal medicine have been used for centuries but dont forget nobody is following the ill effect from the unproven medications.
Good Luck
Remember slow and easy
