i like the part about gin and raisins !! :laughing7:

Very serious, IT WORKS! :icon_thumright:

My mom fought arthritis in her hands and arms for 20 years, nothing the doctors gave here would really relieve the pain for very long, when she tried the gin and raisins it did more for her than anything else the doctors gave her, and that was her words.

Anyone who has ever had heel spurs know how bad they are, I had them in both feet, fought them for 6 months with no relief, was considering surgery till I found the gin and raisins, have not had a problem with heel spurs since then..... Over 3 years now...

If I can keep the gin around that long I'll try it . . .

The reason tendinitis takes so long to heal is because there aren't many blood vessels to in the tendon to carry nutrients in and damaged tissue out. Glucosamine and chondroitin in products like "Move Free" are there to act as raw materials to rebuild the cartilage. It does help, but cartilage can only heal so quickly.

Your doctor may refer you to a specialist to get a cortisone shot. The needle is fine as a hair and you get a tiny squirt right at the point where it hurts. That stops the pain in short order, but you can't have this done very often because it actually weakens the tendon. It causes the tendon to get thinner at that spot, ending the pain from inflammation, at least until it's re-damaged.

Had a pained elbow last year, stretching is what fixed it for me.

I'd extend the affected arm out straight w/ palm facing up, then grab my fingers with my other hand and bend hand at wrist downwards. You can feel tendons stretching in the crook of your elbow, hold like that for a minute or so, repeat several times, two or three times a day.

I would certainly give stretching and fish oil a shot as I never did and maybe it might have helped. I developed Tennis Elbow in my left elbow first (although I am right handed). No doubt a result of intensive pull-up workouts. It got so bad that holding a jug of water by the handle was excruciating. I was given a painful cortisone injection that was like a miracle a day later. Six months later the pain was back. Went and got another shot. Four months later the pain was back and got another shot. Three months later it's back. Finally I elected to have surgery done. As I understand it they detach the offending tendon, notch the bone where it was attached and suture it in the notch. Whatever they did it worked. I have been pain free ever since, which was 10 years ago. I ended up going through the same problem with the right elbow a year after the left but only tolerated two shots and now have matching book ends. ;D

I had/ have pain like this every summer due to running the trigger on my Paint gun. I asked my Chiropractor about it and he recommended Putting pressure on the point of pain and then flexing your fisted hand up and down ten reps. There are four of these points coming down across your forearm from your elbow toward your thumb. Try pressing with your finger tips you will find them. Ten reps per point twice a day. It should hurt when you do it . You are massaging the tendons. You should see some less pain in a week or two.

Make sure you're rotating your shoulders and hips a bit with your swinging motion..........makes a huge difference! Otherwise your elbow is supporting the entire swing. Just rotating your shoulders a little bit takes a lot of load off the elbow. :thumbsup:
