  1. My knee discomfort feels a lot like my on-again/off-again patellar tendinitis aka 'jumper's knee.'

    I suspect I strained that tendon. I hope that getting a patellar strap tomorrow might at least get me out walking again while I heal and do my usual exercises for that issue.

    Fingers crossed. The sunny day has really made me want to be outside.

  2. Tendinitis can cause arm pain
    The main symptom of tendonitis is pain that radiates to the elbow or biceps when the arm is bent. Put ice on and stretch the area.
    Acupuncture, chiropractic and osteopathy can help.

  3. (3/3) Those first few days were not fun.

    I did get evaluated by a doctor who basically said that playing violin had caused the tendinitis and I needed to go to physical therapy (PT)…which wasn’t a thing in the small town where my summer camp was located. :(

  4. (1/3) It’s another Sunday, and thus, it’s time to talk more about tendinitis.

    I want to delve a bit into what that initial tendinitis felt like because it was like nothing I had ever experienced before.

    I was used to the acute pain of a banged-up knee or fractured finger. Or the subtle sting of a paper cut. The pain of tendinitis was the complete opposite.

  5. (3/3) I remember setting the practice room temperature to about 68 degrees Fahrenheit because it was so hot outside. Looking back, that was the worst idea ever. Not only was I not giving myself breaks, my poor muscles and tendons were not warm AT ALL. They were quite the opposite.

    And that night, while I was lying down to go to sleep, the pain in my left wrist and forearm began.

  6. (2/3) Hindsight 20/20, it’s obvious that doing *anything* for multiple hours straight is a bad idea. But in the moment, I just wanted to be better.

    On one specific night, which I deem as the night that set everything into motion, I spent about five hours practicing a section from the 3rd movement of the Barber violin concerto, which I was intent on learning by the end of my six weeks at camp.

  7. (1/3) The summer before my junior year of high school, I attended a summer music festival for six weeks, where I was surrounded by peers who played significantly better than me.

    I wanted desperately to get better, so I locked myself in practice rooms for hours on end. I also refused to take breaks because I thought resting was a waste of time, and the concept of “over-practicing” had never been introduced to me.

  8. (2/2) Each week for the next few weeks, I will share a little bit about my tendinitis story and share a few tips that helped me mitigate symptoms and get back to playing music.

    I'm not a licensed medical professional in any way, but I do hope that by sharing my story, I can help someone dealing with something similar feel less alone :)

  9. En esta época del año, cuando le doy duro y parejo al laburo con el mouse de la compu, me arranca la tendinitis en el hombro derecho, ahora me hice un apoya-codo que me ayuda a aliviar el dolor, forradito con una media vieja para que no se me pegue a la tabla. Lo hice con una madera de un pequeño estante #diy #hum #tendinitis #trabajo #escritorio
