Testimonials From Internet Postings Bob Willmot, Engineer and Investment Banker "As you’ve probably already seen I’m recovering from a bilateral ACL reconstruction of both knees (patellar tendon auto-graphs). Needless to say my tendons have been a bit annoyed by having their middle third cut out. I’ve found a great product that has eliminated my patellar tendon pain. They do have University Research reports on-line, but being an engineer I figured I’d do my own research. I used the wrap on my right knee and left my left knee as the control group. I’ve been doing this for a little over a week and my right patellar tendon feels dramatically better (no more stiffness in the morning, or pain when I sit for long periods). The result of my extensive:) research: I’m going to get another wrap for my other knee.

[send Geoff mail] MY STUFF: [My Star] [Keychains] [My Apartment] [Perspective] ... [Links] How I Cured My Tendonitis (not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, but it feels similar) Starting in 1997 I started feeling pain in my wrists when I used the computer for long periods of time. Over time it happened more and more frequently so that my wrists often hurt even when I wasn't using the computer at all. Like many people with wrist pain I thought I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. However, at one point (I think it was 1999) I went to a doctor to get a test which measured nerve damage in my wrists and it turns out there wasn't any nerve damage. That was good news because that meant that what I had was Tendonitis. Tendonitis, over a period of time, can cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (by damaging the nerves in the wrists), but at least at that point in time there wasn't any nerve damage. Even so, my wrists still hurt a lot whenever I typed. This really worried me because I'm a computer programmer, so being able to type is critical to my ability to continue to work. What is Tendonitis Tendonitis (in the wrist) is a swelling of the tendons in the wrist which puts pressure on the nerves in the wrist. This makes you feel pain in your wrist as well as your fingers. Despite the pain in the fingers there's nothing actually wrong with the fingers. The pain originates entirely from the pressure on the nerves in the wrist.

@import url(styles/advanced.css); pianomap : Tendonitis Most pianists' injuries are injuries to the tendons of the arm and handthat is, some form of tendonitis. Names and spellings vary. "Tendonitis" and "tendinitis" are equivalent; "tenosynovitis" refers to injuries involving the synovial sheath that surrounds the tendon. "De Quervain's disease" affects tendons of the thumb. "Lateral epicondylitis" or "tennis elbow" affects tendons on the outside of the elbow, "medial epicondylitis" or "golfer's elbow" affects tendons on the inside of the elbow. "Ganglion cysts" are disorders of the tendon sheaths. There are also injuries to the tendons in the shoulder. Shoulder injuries may affect the tendons in the rotator cuff or the bursa which is the cushion underlying the tendon and protecting it. Injuries to the bursa are called "bursitis," injuries to the tendons receive different names depending on the specific structure that is affected. All these problems can occur in pianists, though few pianists suffer from all at once. All of them are use-relatedthey result from the pianist's way of using the arm and hand. In almost all cases they can be cured if the pianist adopts a better use. Why should pianists (and other people who use their hands in repetitive tasks) be subject to tendon injuries? The answer is obvious the moment we look at the array of muscles that move the hand and fingers.

Tendonitis Scenario: Because it's your free weekend, you're asked to accompany the boy scouts to Moab. You dust off an old hardbody bike, pump up the tires, then drive seven obnoxious 14-year-olds to Moab in your Suburban. After banging your antique bike down 14 miles of the Porcupine Rim trail trying to keep up with those hyperactive brats, you hurt everywhere. A few days later, most everything is feeling better. But your wrist still hurts, and it goes "scritch, scritch" when you move it. Description: Tendonitis is an inflammation of a tendon, usually caused by repetitive minor trauma in other words, you create a lot of tiny strains within the tendon, then your body attacks the injured area with inflammatory cells. Most commonly, the tendonitis will occur right where the tendon attaches to bone, or where it wraps around a bone or joint. Wrist Tendonitis: Most common is "De Quervain's tendonitis" of the thumb extensor tendon. It often follows biking on rough surfaces: gripping the handlebars tightly while multiple shocks slam your wrist. The tendonitis is on the forearm just upstream from the wrist. It begins on the thumb side of the radius and winds around to the top side. Often, there's a bulge of swelling over the tendon. If you press fingers gently over the swollen area and move the thumb up and down, you may feel a rubbing sensation. Location of swelling in thumb extensor wrist tendonitis.

Ben comes to the training room complaining of pain in the back of his leg towards his heel. After a brief interview Ben tells us the only training change he has made was to increase his mileage gradually. We ask him to see the team doctor. After seeing the team doctor, Ben comes back with a diagnosis of acute Achilles tendonitis. The doctor has said Ben may continue to train provided the condition does not get worse. The physician has also contacted the training room to inquire if there is a taping technique that may take up some of the stress seen by the Achilles tendon. What taping technique might you suggest? Apply first anchor strip inferior to the muscle belly of the gastroc. The second strip goes around the metatarsal heads. With the foot in a position of slight plantar flexion, measure strips of tape from anchor to anchor.

by Angella Conrard Achilles tendonitis affects many athletes. Sports literature states that approximately 11% of lower extremity injuries involve Achilles tendonitis. It is a chronic overuse condition and with out proper rest and treatment may result in a serious irreversible damage needing surgical intervention. Achilles tendonitis involves small micro tears to the tendon fibers or its connective tissue covering. This micro tearing is mostly associated with chronic overloading of the tendon as opposed to a sudden acute injury. It can also be caused by biomechanical problems such as excessive pronation (foot turns inward too much) or supination (foot turns outward too much). The Achilles tendon

Arthritis Juvenile Arthritis Autoimmmune Diseases Lupus ... Clinical Immunology Lab Bursitis and Tendonitis Joints are sites of motion between two bones, each of which is lined with a smooth, friction free surface called articular cartilage. The alignment and stability of the joint are maintained by supportive structures called ligaments and tendons, and cushioning of the joints is provided by fluid filled sacs called bursae. Ligaments are cord like structures that run from bone to bone, while tendons run from muscle to bone. Inflammation of either structure at the site of attachment to the bone is known as enthesopathy, while inflammation of the bursae is known as bursitis. Inflammation of ligaments, tendons, and bursae can occur as a result of trauma to the joint or as result of overuse such as in athletic injury. Inflammation of the structures around a joint can also occur as one the first signs of a systemic inflammatory arthritis. In sero-negative arthritis (psoriatic arthritis, colitic arthritis, Reiter's syndrome) enthesopathy is often the first and most significant manifestation of the disease and is best treated by a rheumatologist with systemic anti-inflammatory medications. Our physicians can quickly determine if inflammation of a ligament, tendon, or bursae represents a mechanical problem or an inflammatory problem. If the problem is mechanical we can provide treatment by a staff orthopedist with specialization in sports medicine and can provide access to state of the art physical therapy in a variety of convenient locations. If the problem is systemic inflammatory arthritis, our rheumatologists can provide treatment with a wide variety of anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive medications as well as access to novel treatments, which are not yet approved for general use, through our ambulatory clinical research center (ACRS). Our rheumatologists, orthopedists, and physiatrists work together to insure an integrated plan of care

Primer on Aging Choose Font Size Normal Large Extra Large Patellar Tendonitis Patellar Tendonitis August 9, 2001 Question I play football and I have been told I have patellar tendonitis. Rest does not seem to help much. A cortisone injection made it feel better, but I have no strength or stability, especially when I stand on one leg. What else can I do? Answer Patellar tendonitis is an overuse or overload syndrome, the hallmark symptom being pain in front of the knee. Usually there is a distinct localized tender spot. Patients also describe night pain, pain with sitting, squatting, or kneeling. Climbing stairs can also be painful. There may be puffiness around the front of the knee; usually the patient has pain when the knee is bent (flexed) extremely, as well as sometimes with full straightening (extension). If the condition has been present for some time, the quadriceps muscle (front of the thigh) may be smaller than on the other leg. Treatment involves primarily rest, but also the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), such as ibuprophen, acetaminophen, or diclofenac. Cortisone injections should not be injected directly into the tendon, as this may increase the risk of rupture of the tendon.

Tendonitis Tendons are the fibrous connective tissue that attach the muscles to the bones. When they are subjected to overuse or chronic wear and tear, they can become stressed, inflammed and painful. Depending on the tendon involved, treatment may include surgery, anti-inflammatory medication, immobilization or a combination of all three. Achilles Tendon The Achilles tendon is one of the largest tendons in the body. It attaches the calf muscle in the lower leg to the foot. This is the tendon that often gives active people the most trouble. Have you ever lunged for a baseline volley, landed from a rebound during a basketball game or been out for a run and felt a sharp pain in the heel? When the Achilles tendon is fatigued or too tight from improper stretching, it can be stressed enough to tear or even rupture. You may hear a loud "pop" and feel immediate severe pain - like being hit with a baseball bat! The pain should subside in a few minutes. But even if you can still move your foot or walk, this does not mean the injury is not serious. Posterior Tibilial Tendon After the Achilles Tendon, the Posterior Tibilial Tendon that runs along the inside part of the ankle is most commonly injured, especially in women. If the injury is not taken care of, the tendon can rupture and the arch can fall. Treatment includes anti-inflammatory medication and immobilization with a boot or cast for four weeks. If the injury persists, surgery may be necessary to prevent rupture of the tendon.

Foot Conditions Achilles Tendonitis Arch Pain / Arch Strain Arthritis Bunions (Bunionettes) ... Sesamoiditis Achilles Tendonitis Definition Achilles Tendonitis causes inflammation and degeneration of the achilles tendon. The achilles tendon is the large tendon located in the back of the leg that inserts into the heel. The pain caused by achilles tendonitis can develop gradually without a history of trauma. The pain can be a shooting pain, burning pain, or even an extremely piercing pain. Achilles tendonitis should not be left untreated due to the danger that the tendon can become weak and ruptured. Achilles Tendonitis is aggravated by activities that repeatedly stress the tendon, causing inflammation. In some cases even prolonged periods of standing can cause symptoms. It is a common problem often experienced by athletes, particularly distance runners. Achilles Tendonitis is a difficult injury to treat in athletes due to their high level of activity and reluctance to stop or slow down their training. Individuals who suffer from achilles tendonitis often complain that their first steps out of bed in the morning are extremely painful. Another common complaint is pain after steps are taken after long periods of sitting. This pain often lessens with activity.
