Anyone have any experience with this aggravating condition and, if so, anyone know of any thing that helps get rid of it? I've got a particularly nasty case right now. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem with my hand/wrist tendons being sore for days after...My right wrist is bothersome and is always worse after a day of riding. I usually wear a support of some type a couple of days after so it can be in one position for the most part and then it will feel better. After reading the website, I am not supposed to ride anymore. I am not sure what the problem is but it bugs me and my wife is always telling me to baby it. I am guessing a day of hard riding does not fall into the category of babying. Anyone want to play cards?
Couple things to consider...main one Quit playing tennis.....You are very welcome! The other, I don't think I can say on here!
Gotta love it when one of Edge's lines gets used on Edge himself! Roost when I can Rez!
I am very curious to know more about this as I have always not liked acetaminophen but liked Ibuprofen. Where did you hear about this?Just say no to NSAIDS. Recent studies have shown that they really slow down the healing process. What is a NSAID you ask? Unfortunately , it's most of the over the counter pain meds other than Tylenol ( aka Acetaminophen). From what I have read it really does slow down healing in injured tendons. The healing that does happen is of a lower quality.
I've had really messed up tendons and I've taken NSAIDS because it was that or scream bloody murder from the pain. I do my best to survive on the Acetaminophen as soon as I can.
By far the most important thing to do is give the injured tendons some time to heal. That can be even longer than the three weeks mentioned in an earlier post. Yes that sucks. Tendons take a long time to heal because they have a minimal blood supply.

Something the article doesn't mention is hydration. Proper hydration is very important for helping the inflamed tissues heal, and for preventing a reoccurrence. Water acts as a lubricant for the muscles, ligaments and tendons.
- Stop the activity that caused the pain
The first step to proper tendonitis treatment is to stop all activities associated with the affected area.- Rest the affected area for at least 3 weeks
Rest is the most important part of tendonitis treatment. In most cases the tendon will be able to completely heal itself with enough rest.- If possible, brace the area
If possible we recommend you brace the affected area. This could mean a wrist brace (wrist), arm sling (shoulder), knee brace (knee), etc. Bracing the area protects it against further inflammation and strain.- Apply anti-inflammatory medication to the area
Anti-inflammatory medication can help to relieve tendonitis pain and dilate the blood vessels. This allows for relief of the pain, without causing any stiffening of the tissue.- After 3 weeks, re-evaluate the situation
How is the pain feeling after 3 weeks? If the pain has not subsided, rest for another 3 weeks. If the area is feeling better you can begin further rehabilitation.- Apply light resistance, movement and stretching
Apply slow and controlled movement to the affected area. If no pain is felt, you may use very light weights. After movement some gentle stretching can be applied. Repeat these light movement exercises for a minimum of 3 weeks.- Start light exercise
By now your tendon should be ready for some light exercises. You can find some exercises for various body parts on this page.- Ease back into activity
Your tendon should now be ready to start regular activity again. Make sure your properly warm up and stretch your tendon before you begin exercising.
You're welcome
