The least expensive and most effective tendon pain relief available anywhere!
I recently ordered a variety pack of LMNT and tried them out. LMNT tries to provide a sports drink that gives you good electrolyte replacement without any sugar, and they do a pretty good job of accomplishing that. The order that I liked the flavors, from most to least, was: raspberry salt, orange salt, mango …
So there has been a lot of interest lately about taking creatine to help get rid of tendonitis. In this post, I’ll explore what science has to say about the subject. Or rather, I’d like to explore what science says…but there just isn’t much. I spent about half an hour on PubMed and came up …
I spend a lot of time talking about how to prevent tendon issues on this blog, but as you get older it’s equally important to prevent joint problems. So in this post, I’m going to tell you about an old program that will give you a great workout while simultaneously giving your joints and tendons …
Most of the supplements fall into two categories: ones that don’t work (99% of what’s being sold) and those that do work, but everyone already knows about (like creatine). I’m starting an occasional series about that last 1%: supplements that work but that not everyone knows about (yet). Today I want to talk about Primeval …
I make the point in Target Tendonitis that it’s not the best idea to be on a restrictive diet when you’re trying to rehabilitate a tendon. Ideally, you want a surplus of nutrients available to fix things up, not force your body to choose how to allocate resources between repair projects. Basically, dieting for tendonitis …
I just want to post a quick update here about using Rogue Voodoo Floss for tendonitis. I may decide to expand this post later, but for now, I’ll just say that it didn’t work for me. I’ve been lifting weights for over 40 years and still spend a lot of time in the gym. And …
Nothing to do with tendons this time, but I wanted to post a quick note about something I just discovered. Want to make your crunches more effective? Here are a couple of tweaks: 1.) If you’re doing the exercise on a bench or other raised platform, position your body so that your head is hanging …
A little while ago I posted about the various options for non-stick frying pans that people who don’t have lots of money to spend could reasonably purchase. (That post is here if you want to read it.) Although I listed most of the best choices, a chef friend pointed out that I forgot one very …

“I wrote a short article on glucosamine and tendon pain a little while back, but I’ll just post quickly about the subject here again, because I keep seeing this stuff advertised. Basically, there are websites out there that try to sell you glucosamine for tendonitis. It’s supposed to work well for joints, so I guess …

Even the best method of treatment won’t work for a problem has been misdiagnosed. It’s like taking your car in for a noise coming from under the hood and having the mechanic replace a fan belt. If the problem was the fan belt, great. If not, you’re still going to have that noise. “Tendonitis” has …
