do all pros suffer from some kind of tendonitis ?
- Thread starter parham
- Start date
in for answers, plagued with some kind of elbow injury in left arm. biceps melting because I can't lift what I used to PT is confused doesn't think it's tendon maybe hyper extension, bone chip in joint, or fracture? not sure what's going on but tired of wasting all this time I could be gaining. I still curl and do arms but range of motion is suffering big time and I'm losing mobility in that arm if I don't constantly stretch it out.
Sec, let me ask them...
Okay, all pros BUT Phil Heath have tendonitis. Phil told me he just has a bad case of Kai on his nutz.

I wonder if they actually hate each other, or they act foolish to attract attention. Pretty soon Big Ramy is going to kill these guys. Ramy looks like some next level freak at this point and if his lats improve I don't see anyone actually beating him.

i had to go see an acupuncturist, and after seeing two docs and a physical therapist.. a year into misery with that shit
the acu palpated my arm, says
" you have muscle spasms, very severe spasms in your forearm"
oh yeah? no shit - my fucking tendon slides through my arms like a crusty length of rusty barbwire - thanks for the tip
this dude literally squeezed my forearm roughly half way between my wrist and elbow - as hard as he could, like a vice..
then slowly TWISTED and rotated without losing his grip- until i could literally feel the tendonitis getting almost fucking unbearable..
so without me ambulating/ moving my arm ( which was the nay time i felt it) - he was eliciting the pain by manipulating the muscle manually.
im all - hey that shit fucking hurts man!
he tells me , we need to lengthen the muscles here.. then your pain will be resolved
and no fucking shit, 8 mos of misery - and this guy manipulated th muscle in my forearm , lengthening the with the vice grip hold/ then rotation twisting as far as he could manage it without slipping..
he held that for about 60-90 seconds and when he let go he smiles at me and says
" how does it feel now?
the shit was 80% GONE
he gave me a detailed explanation and walk through of the manipulation he had just done, then used acupuncture needles with an estim to trigger and relax the muscles..
only 6-7 visits to him in few weeks time, with me performing the manipulation several time a day between visits, and the pain has been knocked down to zero for over year now.
and i suffered, i mean really suffered, for almost 9 months with that shit..

I had it really bad in my right elbow a few years ago, accupuncture nearly got rid of it... then I starting getting it a bit in my left elbow, the guy I went to figured the pain was coming from my shoulder... a few sessions of massage and accupuncture on the back of the shoulder and bamm... Pain free in the elbows for 3 years now
These options help, but learning to train smarter plays a big role as well... Contract the muscle you are training, don't have to be crazy heavy to get serious results

never in to forearm always makes tri feel tight, would appreciate any tips
edit: just read ^, going to garage to find vice thanks! lol
srs tho going to try some of this at home, maybe my wife can help with massage, PT seems to be clueless and just having me do basic stretches.

I'm no pro, but I'm a Highland games athlete and train heavy all year long. I battle tendinitis almost routinely, and time off does absolutely nothing for it. I've had it alternate between arms, in different areas around the elbows and lower biceps. right now it's in my lower bicep around the forearm tie in.
I've had acupuncture, physio, massage therapy, and the best luck I've had was with ice and ibuprofen, and some relief from having my forearms rolled as mentioned above by someone else. time off and lighter weight did nothing to help the discomfort and straight out fucking pain.
voltaren helped somewhat but ice seemed the better option. my 2cnts.
