I'm wondering if anyone has had similar issues with tendonitis. I run low mileage and am always sure to build up slowly. I take a rest day every two weeks. Without fail, every season I will get tendonitis in some random part of my lower body. Plantar, knees, shins. No matter how careful I am, these little injuries pop up and set my training back because I am taking off days here and there. I've weight trained regularly for the last 5-6 yrs and I stretch everyday after my run. Are there general strength exercises I should be doing? balance exercises? massage? Anyone with similar experience? Please help. |

if you can get a hold of this article from a university libraray, it might be worth taking a look at. it's a case study of a triathlete who started out with i think achilles tendonitis, so he focued on biking, then he got patellar tendonitis, so he focused on swimming, then he got elbow tendonitis. this article made me ask for a thyroid test and turned out it was the problem. 10.3810/psm.1997.01.1094 The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Volume 25: No.1Hypothyroidism Presenting as Tendinitis William D. Knopp, MD; Matthew E. Bohm, MD; James C. McCoy, MD Abstract: Hypothyroidism usually presents insidiously with symptoms such as fatigue, cold intolerance, and weight gain. Less common findings include myalgia, arthralgia, and joint effusion. In the patient described here, a triathlete, interpretation of early signs and symptoms as typical tendinitis led to months of treatment failure. Considering hypothyroidism in the differential diagnosis for patients who have overuse syndromes can expedite treatment. Definitive diagnosis rests on testing of serum thyroid hormone levels. Treatment, which is usually quickly effective, consists of gradually adjusted thyroid hormone replacement. |

Tight muscles are referring pain throughout your lower body. Massage and trigger point therapy are your solutions. http://triggerpoints.net/ |

If you haven't done any lifting or core stregth work, get going on that. start with stuff like planks and one-legged squats. this may be the first thing to try before thinking it's metabolic. check out: http://www.coachr.org/core_stabilisation_training_for.htm for endless ways to torture yourself. |

thanks again, little speaker. I've done weight training for years, but I definitely think my program is stagnant. i do basic abs a few times a week. I definitely need to start changing things up. that site has a nice collection of stabilization stuff. definitely going to start incorporating more of this stuff in to my routine. |

Well, the poses certainly help! I'm more partial to the brunette South African woman illustrating similar positions in the big Noakes book. |
