Really appreciate this videos. Extremely insightful and well put together. Your channel deserves better recognition, and hopefully you get it, but for now people like me find so much value in them! Please don't stop!

Great video with up to date info. I'm 7 months into a forearm tendonopathy issue that's means I can no longer play guitar comfortably or for any length of time (my passion). This video has caused me to question the diet and medications I've been on whilst trying to heal.

Great info on the sub-categories of tendinopathies. Do you find rehab strategies greatly vary between a tendinitis versus tendinosis?

[ryandupuis]

Thanks for making this. I have not been able to run for the past 4 months due to patellar tendon issues. The recovery is frustratingly slow, and it's hard to find the right balance of activity and load, but not doing too much. Looking forward to the next video!

so with that fluroquine antibiotics would the rehab change at all? as I heard you mention it. if so what would you recommend to help with this.

Oh my god. You are the first person to ever make sense to me regarding this. I’ve had “tendonisis” for about 7 months now. Started with wearing shoes that were too tight, exercising too vigorously, lifting weights twice my own size and now my mobility is basically limited LOL. Oh and I also have a thyroid disorder to throw on top of it all. So in a way, it was kind of like the perfect storm. I have constant pain all around the outer border of both my feet. If there is any way I can get in contact with you I would love to, because I’ve exhausted all my options and you’re the only one making sense at this point.

I have RA and was on methotrexate for about two years (until i could no longer tolerate it) and now, about a year later, I have been diagnosed with tendinosis in several joints. could these be connected?

Hello Doctor, for someone that has developed an achilles tendinosis post levaquin in both achilles tendons, how long should one wait before PT or eccentric workouts? If at all?

[joshwise]

Excellent video mate. I'm just wondering if you could help me? I've been going through a Condition called dartitis, which is a disorder that stops me from thorwing darts at a dartboard every time I pull I'm arm back to throw my arm gets stuck. I have no pain in my arm but do you think I might have some Tendon damage in my arm?

[RamSingh-evmn]

I have chronic patellar tendinitis ....if I started running or jogging the pain will back... please suggest me what I can do ... do I complete rest or starting isometric exercises?

Does tendinosis cause popping. I was diagnosed with tendinosis in the supraspinatus and infraspinatus. So, I was wondering if it causes popping in my shoulder. I have been told yes and I have been told no that the popping is caused by something else

I've had a terrible wrist for 4 months. I'm at a loss. None of these videos tell me how to resolve it.

I have low T3 and just started to take liothyronine. Although my tendon problem started 3 months before I started taking this medicine and nothing was healing. I have tendon problems from my achilles, to patellar tendon, to tennis and golfers elbow, to bicep tendon, and a couple others. I’m only 17 and it’s taken me away from sports and it makes no sense how this happened. Do you think getting my t3 at a good level would benefit me in tendon regrowth?

[Johndoe-nbcw]

Thoughts on prp injections for tendinosis?

[carlnikolov]

Is there a cure for tendinosis ? I'm a pianist and music teacher the repetitive nature of playing a musical instrument has damaged my tendons severely. Despite physiotherapy I can't seem to make the problem go away it consistently stays weak and unable to heal.

If properly treated with PRP and Eccentric exercise, would it be possible for a 26 year old male to recovery fully from supraspinatus tendinosis?
