How do I get rid of tendanitis in both arms? It was hurting really bad like a year ago, but even now when I lift a case of beer for example I feel the pain again. Anything I can do about it? |
www.sportarzt.de ;)
when I had tendonitis in my leg, they told me:
Ice, ice and then some Ice.
Also anti-inflamatory stuff (Ibuprofin) and stretching it would help..
it eventually went away :) |

Im kinda pissed right now, i really wanna jump back in and do my carzy workouts, but this shoulder injury makes me half-ass chest work outs. s'killin me!
My major fear of barbell is getting man boobs. yes no? |
man boobs comes from steroids...people use steroids...don't use them properly (not that they are good to begin with) and then end up making more estrogen hence man boobs.
ps...if you get some...
Pics of STFU hehehe |

I don't have problems with it at the moment, but as soon as I do push ups or lift something it comes back. Maybe I just translated it wrong.
Greg, ich meine Sehnenscheidenentzündung. Mein Hausarzt meinte die ist chronisch, ich frage aber demnächst mal nen Orthopäden (muss da sowieso hin). Wenn der nciht weiterhelfen kann gehts zum Sportarzt. |

There are specific movements that you need to perform with a stretch band that will help strengthen up the rotator cuff (provided you are referring to the rotator cuff - I'm assuming as much since this is common with push-ups). I would suggest seeing either a personal trainer or a physical therapist - they can help you with the proper positioning in the movements. You can also mimic the movements with hand weights, but the arm band/rubber band thingy is a little more efficient imo.
Aside of that, ICE ICE ICE. A little ibuprofin (advil) to help alleviate the pain will do as well, or even naproxin sodium (aleve) if that doesn't work. |

OK, my turn :D
i used to play high level soccer, and did boxing training for 2 months, i was in great shape, ive been outa all that for about a year, but just now i have jioned an awsome gym and started to workout 3-5 times a week.
i wiegh 175, im 5'9, ive got a bit of a belly but i am by no means fat ( ill try and get a body fat % soon)
i want to define my body so that i look in shape and reletively strong, im not working out to get HUGE. i figured that im to heavy for my height so i have been doing cardio for about 20-30 minutes at the start of every session. i burn about 400 calories doing this
so should i stop doing this to burn the fat? and let my muscle mass increase as i workout?
i just want to get a nice defined figure, get rid of the belly i have and just look like im in slightly-above average shape |
For your particular needs, I would suggest a workout program that incorporates both cardio and resistance training activity. Depending upon what your daily schedule allows, 4-5 workouts per week should suffice. That would entail at least 2 weight workouts (ideally 3), and 3 cardio workouts (ideally 4-5). This also entails doing both cardio and resistance training in the same workout a couple of times/week.
In these particular days when you need to do both cardio and resistance training, I've heard many different reasons on which should be done first, as well as the reasonings for choosing to do so. My personal advice is to to mix it up: have some days in which you will do cardio first, then have some days in which you decide to do resistance training first. There is some truth into what Orbax has stated - you can tire yourself a bit if you decide to do cardio first, esp. if you decide to go hard cardio. But I would conversely state that your body is also well warmed up and ready to go for weights. I would suggest that those days that you do cardio first to make those days for upper body resistance training afterward, and to save those leg resistance training days for non-cardio days, if possible. Overall, I would still suggest to vary your training regimen throughout and switch at random which days to do which type of training first (cardio or resistance). |

Well it's been well documented to help with osteoarthritis and degenerative joint diseases, as well as other related problems with the cartilage in joints:
http://www.glucosamine-arthritis.or...ne-information/
However, keep in mind that when we're talking about the rotator cuff, we're actually referring not to a common joint with ligaments holding the bones together, but rather the 4 muscles holding the joint together. Now if there's a problem with the actual joint in the shoulder, and there's cartilage degeneration of sorts, glucosamine, which helps the matrix bonding of the chondrocytes in the cartilage, will definitely be of benefit. However, if we're referring to rotator cuff injury via bursitis/impingement syndrome, we're not actually having damage done to any cartilage (which is what we've been talking about here all along). If it's overuse rotator cuff injury, what's happening here is the head of the arm bone is riding up higher than normal over the socket joint, and often pinches the bursa (bursitis). Or the other common rotator cuff situation is an acute tear in any of the 4 rotator cuff muscles as a result of high load (overuse can cause a tear as well to a certain extent). In either case, glucosamine may not be as beneficial for this particular overuse injury as it would, say the knee or hip.
So to sum up, no, glucosamine may not be as much benefit to rotator cuff injury as to other joint injuries in the body, because we are dealing with muscle problems for the most part in the shoulder as opposed to actual cartilage damage, which glucosamine has shown to be quite beneficial. |

No it's not the rotator cuff. Well the pain is in the tendants near the elbows. I don't know how else to describe it, my English is not that good.
Anyways thanks for your help, I'll try the ice and the ibuprofin and I'm definately going to a doctor or a physical therapist. |
