    interesting thought however i dont think so, my doctor checked that out through tests and i feel no pain in the meniscus, i was given the all clear for that which is good :)

    patella tendonitis/tendinopathy

    thanks so much, will definitely look into the exercises and do them. ive been meaning to go to a physio but have had exams. does foam rolling my quadricep and hamstrings bring any benefit aswell? ive been trying that recently? but again thankyou ill keep you posted with how i go.

    ArA Joint Pain

    ArA Joint Pain

    yeah thats similar to me, my shoulder recovered relatively quickly but my elbow took a little longer and my tendonitis in my knee is still bothering me months later haha. its obviously not for everyone

    ArA Joint Pain

    yeah running a joint supp is a good idea, a little off topic but are there any supplements you'd reccommend for tendon and ligament health?

    ArA Joint Pain

    nice, thats good. i never had back issues with x gels, it was more at the hinge joints. its good that most people are okay with it though

    patella tendonitis/tendinopathy

    yeah im trying my best, its just one of those things. i got an ultrasound and xray to make sure there was no structural damage or anything more severe and it just showed the tendonitis as expected. yeah it'll pass eventually hopefully sooner rather than later. i've heard cases in which people...

    ArA Joint Pain

    i feel like i have a good pain tolerance its just not too pleasant having a swollen elbow, sore shoulder and knee. i saw the supp to be doing more harm than good and stopped using it to avoid getting another injury haha. yeah i understand that everyones different, the guys who have no problem...

    ArA Joint Pain

    yeah thats fair enough, i never had tendonitis prior which is frustrating since i still have the patella tendonitis now. im sure the supp has some benefits but i wouldnt go back to it as i'd be scared if if made things worse like you said.

    ArA Joint Pain

    ArA Joint Pain

    hey guys i realise this is a supplement is part of many users stacks and a supp that they swear by. im just sharing a personal experience for the sake of discussion. i bought ArA (sns xgels) and started using 4 caps per day which is the minimum and straight away i was experiencing joint pain...

    patella tendonitis/tendinopathy

    mine is under the kneecap and i feel like it resulted from my knee stretching over my foot when front squatting, which puts more force on the tendon. i think my hamstrings are pretty strong overall but they may have contributed to the injury i guess. im just hoping it heals soon haha

    patella tendonitis/tendinopathy

    yeah i have, ive rested for around 3 months and am trying to do light stretching, massage and exercise. its improved from its initial condition but theres still swelling and its still tender, i guess ill just have to continue to be patient. really annoying injury. thanks though

    hi guys i have had patella tendonitis for around 3 months, which has prevented me from training legs. it originally occured from doing front squats and i continued to squat for a couple of weeks after the initial injury (which wasnt smart). i am currently doing stretching and massage to try and...
