--- Read The Charter -- No advertisements -- We will report spammers
You have joined the thousands of people that have come here to make money off of people with arthritis problems that have lost their internet account. You did not ask what the rules are. You just did your thing and paid the price. It will not take you long to get another account but you will remember that this is not the place to come to make money. Thank you for posting the charter and it is a good idea to post it every now and then.

I'm not trying to sell anything but am new to your group. Do you all have dicussion regarding tendonitis? I have developed the condition do to overuse from running and lifting weights. Below is an overview of the condition from a web site that I discoverd. Does anyone know of a good approach to curing this condition? Many thanks, Steve Quadriceps Tendonitis Rusty Ford Quadriceps Tendonitis is an inflammation swelling or irritation of the tendons of the knee joint. The Quadriceps tendon becomes inflamed and tender due to overuse. Overuse injuries of the Quadriceps tendon occur when you repeat a particular activity (usually running, jumping or high-impact) until there is micro-failure of the tissue that makes up the substance of the tendon. Swelling, inflammation and pain follows. Symptoms of Quadriceps Tendonitis People with Tendonitis often have tenderness at the point where the Quadriceps tendon meets the bone. In addition, they may feel pain during running, hurried walking, or jumping. A complete rupture of the quadriceps or Quadriceps tendon is not only painful, but also makes it difficult for a person to bend, extend, or lift the leg against gravity. Treatment of Quadriceps Tendonitis Initially, the doctor may ask a patient with Tendonitis to rest, elevate, and apply ice to the knee and to take medicines such as aspirin or ibuprofen to relieve pain and decrease inflammation and swelling. If the quadriceps or Quadriceps tendon is completely ruptured, a surgeon will reattach the ends. After surgery, the patient will wear a cast for 3 to 6 weeks and use crutches. For a partial tear, the doctor might apply a cast without performing surgery. Rehabilitating a partial or complete tear of a tendon requires an exercise program that is similar to but less vigorous than that prescribed for ligament injuries. The goals of exercise are to restore the ability to bend and straighten the knee and to strengthen the leg to prevent repeat injury. A rehabilitation program may last 6 months, although the patient can return to many activities before then. "Harvey R.

you don't say if you have had a scan to determine how seriously the muscle/tendon is compromised so i wouldn't want to speculate re specifics. http://www.kneepaininfo.com/kneeQuadTendinitis.html http://www.arthroscopy.com/quadrep.htm http://www.emedicine.com/sports/topic109.htm might give you a bit more info to discuss with your dr or pt - since you post from mhhs.org, you probably have access to all of Memorial Hermann, you should not have any diff. getting a decent referral for their radiography, sportsmed center, and rehabilitation services programs as to thomas 'rusty' ford - even though there might be 'some' relevant information there, he is first and foremost, a commercial purveyor of otc/herbal/etc products and, as such, is not on my list of usable resources. perhaps the best i can say is that it is accurate as to a minimum timeline of 6 months + to properly rehab a quad muscle - providing there is no actual tear or calcification. but recovery (not cure) will involve a thorough understanding of the exact nature of the injury, appropriate care, and solving those conditions that precipitated it to begin with. running, and weightlifting, are classic causes of this condition - almost a stereotype of 'working out' to excess. be well paul Steve wrote: > I'm not trying to sell anything but am new to your group.
