RE: Road to American Ninja Warrior - Day 103
Mate, tendinitis is a tear in a tendon. It sucks giant balls and is incredibly painful and hard to treat. I have it in my left elbow.
My physio got me doing a bunch of strengthening exercises while the tendon repaired itself. It took ages. If you haven’t had treatment Instrongly recommend you see a good sports physio.
Ah, bummer man... it's the worst. I push myself pretty hard and have had almost all the overuse and tendonitis injuries you can have.
Unfortunately, the US healthcare system also sucks giant balls, and so a physio costs $30 per visit and then you get a surprise bill for an extra $150 per session just for fun... if you can find a physio that'll accept your insurance. Luckily one of the Sydney ninjas is also a physio and he's given me a ton of help for free.... I pretty much had it under control about a month ago, but then had a big session that's sent me down a vicious
shameinjury spiral.I've got a comp this weekend... then I'll give it a rest until it doesn't hurt anymore... and start working on my tendon strengthening exercises again. At the moment those same exercises are causing more tears.
