Good Luck on your treatment, Tendinitis sux.  I just wanted to emphasize that you should do your best to avoid future repetitive motion.  I sometimes get a flair up of tendinitis on a three-day holiday from using the TV remote control or computer too much.:(

I had 4 of the tendons on my hand severed!  Boy, that was not funny....I went to therapy for six months, and then I got Silly Putty, and a medium-hard ball.  I would work it whenever.....now I am fine.  Of course that was a while back, but I am up to speed on everything (actually was 2 years after the accident).  WORK IT!!\nYou can also try, screwing and unscrewing bottle caps, buttoning clothes, anything that MOVES your thumb in coordination with other fingers.\nGood Luck!

while I do not have your disorder, I have RA and have to go to rehab every week plus I have to have my knees and shoulder replaced so "I feel your pain" in therapy. First, I sure would discuss with your therapist what you are feeling. It is possible to over do it. If you are in the beginning segment of your knee therapy, some soreness would be normal but you MUST tell your therapist and if they don't listen to you, I would consult with your Physican. The reason I am saying talk to your doctor is that I have known someone whose therapist did more harm than good on his shoulder after he had shoulder surgery. Most therapists are wonderful however, but they should be listening to your concerns of pain and if they don't, remember this is YOUR body and YOU have the right to stop the exercises that are hurting you until you can get another evaluation. Hope your knee feels better soon. It's really a pain, isn't it?

Swimming is the best form of non-weight bearing exercise.  It can do no harm and it can do so much good for you.  Strengthening the supporting muscles around the affected joints helps to protect the joints from stress...let the muscle take the blow, protect the joint.  All exercise is good for OA...stay as active as you can...now is the time to realize that you MUST "use it or lose it"!!  If you do too much and particular joints flare...ice them and rest them for a while but keep on exercising or the joint will deteriorate.  Take NSAIDS if you must to control pain and inflammation and remember ice cools the flare...heat is for sore muscles...ice is for inflammation of joints.  If the heat feels best psychologically, follow it with ice to cool it down...trust me, it works!  If you haven't already, get to a good Rheumatologist who can help you control your disease and join the Arthritis Foundation to get their magazine "Arthritis Today" which will give you constant sources of help for living with Arthritis....membership is only $20 per year....a bargain!  Good luck....I'm 20 years into my OA and I'm healthier and more active now than I was 20 years ago....you can do it too!

You may have an inflammatory arthritis.  There are several different types.  The symptoms include joint pain, stiffness (especially in the morning) and gelling phenomenon (feeling stiff after sitting). It sounds a lot like Rheumatoid Arthritis but your doctor will have to run blood tests on you to find out for sure.  You need to see a Rheumatologist- who specializes in the treatment of connective tissue disorders and joint pain.  These conditions are treatable and you will start feeling better with treatment! (There are not any over the counter medications- you need to be treated by a doctor- these conditions can start affecting the other body systems if not treated correctly) Good luck.\n\nOh yeah- the joints most affected are the hands- especially middle and lower knuckles, the elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and the lower spine.  Your doctor may get xrays of your hands.

I have the same problem. I went to my doctor and he said that I have bursitis of the knee. I also have tendinitis. I run Cross Country and Track for my high school and I didn't want to stop running so he told me that as long as I'm careful I can keep running. There are special braces I guess you would call them available at Academy. There's also a link on line where you can find them. I also take glucosamine chondroitin which really helps to rebuild joints. I hope this helps you out. Let me know how you feel.

I've had shoulder trouble since I was a pitcher in high school. I've stopped throwing and have taken up weight training. The pain has literally disappeared. My suggestion. Stop all high impact activity on your knee. Do low weight bearing exercise. Focus on strengthening the muscles around the knee with weight training. Also do a lot of stretching and perhaps yoga if you are ambitious. I heard of a supplement that is supposed to be helpful for joint issues. Hyaluronic Acid. Best of Luck

It sound like you have a stretched ligament. See a doctor. It can go on a long time.

It is a myth that cracking joints causes any form of arthritis.  You might grow an inch, but it is not going to be because you cracked anything.\nBy the way, I guess love you, too.
