Sup guys, I'm curious to know if anyone can recommend a good supplement for elbow tendonitis (tennis elbow/medial epicondylitis)?? Skull crushers got the best of me and despite taking about 6 weeks off, I haven't seen much improvement. Before I go see a doc about cortisone shots I want to try the supplement/home remedy route... any recommendations? Gracias.
not sure if it would help but might be worth trying thishttp://www.amazon.com/Great-Lakes-Gelatin-Hydrolysate-individuals/dp/B005KG7EDU
No supplements besides stuff like tumeric.Look into Voodoo floss, then Soft tissue work like ART, MAT, or IASTM.
Elbow issues always reminds me of a joke whose punch line goes “And if you don't stop “___________”, your elbow will never get any better”.Based on "been there, done that", look into some physical therapy before doing the shots. It may cost more but in shots are not a long term solution whereas PT can (and usually) is.
What cured my tendonitis of the elbow was intramuscular stimulation, think acupuncture but deeper. As weird as it was of a method I had total success with it and no longer have it at all. It used to painful to hold a cup and now I have back full use and strength of both arms and it was pretty bad for about 2 years.
This is a good supp for joints. http://www.rxwhey.com/joint-rebuild/
I've been working with Voodoo floss for a few weeks now and it seems to be helping (really gets the blood moving through the joint). Also I found a pretty good supplement called Elbow Revive that's been helping. Since I started taking it I've noticed definite improvement like reduction in pain, less inflammation, and I even feel stronger. Def not back to where I want to be yet, but definitely on the way. Gonna rest and keep doing what I'm doing a little while longer, then reevaluate in a couple weeks. If I'm back 85% or so, I'll start hitting the gym again, but slowly.
