constant tendon injuries

[MisterDeclanCor]

I'm very tall with small joints and am highly susceptible to tendon injuries. My muscles are always overpowering my tendons and I regularly get new types of tendonitis. The best ways I've found to avoid injury and deal with it when it arises are;
-Always warm-up. Not stretching, just warming up.
-Ease into new exercises until your tendons and supporting muscles build strength (takes weeks).
-STOP when you feel "that" pain, or do some exercises that use opposing muscles to try to stretch it out.
-Ice
-Cissus herb (Supercissus) has been a miracle worker for me. My chronic achilles injury of 5 years has been gone in the 6 years I've been using cissus.
-Rest tendons. They take time to heal. But, don't neglect exercise once they've healed as mild exercise tends to help keep chronic tendons at bay.

Hope that helps.

Hey man, what's the best way to get this cissus thing? I've had tendon problems for years but things are starting to look up thankfully as I've been looking after myself alot better. Cheers

decrease teh demand you're putting on your soft tissues. the guy who told you to stop what you're doing is right on the money. you need rest. no impact, light stretching and work through the range of motion only. thatd oesn't mean you sit on the couch all day every day, just that you decrease the demand that is causing your overuse injuries. you are overtrained.

you're 35, and it doesn't sound like you have a youth of athletics and muscle memory to fall on. you need rest. you're actually putting a decent demand on your body for a 35 year old. you're even hinting at it yourself.

I've cured my achiless tendonitis with an eccentric heel drop program, i know i said it's coming back but it's been a year or two where i forgot i had it, and now i took a week off and it's totally gone will go back to eccentric heel drops for a few months just to make sure it can handle the loads again, but i'd highly recommend it.

Elbow/tricep pain is the one thing i can't find a good solution for.Ordered Tendlite to heat up and improve ciruclation a few inches under the skin, and doing forearm stretches and using theStick foam roller lacrose ball to loosen up my arm but it's still lingering.

Thanks for the input
