Please help me with my tendonitis! I need to know how to fix it for good!??


Question: I have been suffering from pain in my knee and quad for a year. I have had xrays, MRIs, and treatments from doctors and physios. My MRI showed that I have tendonitis in my quad, but didn't explain the pain in the patella.

I have done EVERYTHING that I have been told to fix this condition. When the pain was the worst, I used ice and anti-inflammatories. I had physio appointments twice a week for months for massage, acupuncture and to be given exercises to strengthen the muscle. I did all the exercises I was given for months and months.

During this time I have also started seeing a corrective chiropractor twice a week to straighten my spine, and I also now have orthodics becauase I was rolling in and my ankle, knee, hip alignment was out.

Having done all of this, the only thing that stops the pain is if I stop all exercise. When I do no activity for a few weeks, the pain is gone. The minute I do any excercise, it comes back. What do I need to do to fix this problem for good??
Answers: To treat tendinitis at home, P.R.I.C.E. is the acronym to remember — Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. This treatment can help speed your recovery and help prevent further problems.
