does it work for tendonitis

As Jeanette B said, I don't think this is a cure anymore than oxycodone is a "cure", but it does bring relief. I have carpal tunnel flair-ups and lower back spasms from time to time and this stuff provides temporary relief.

When used in combination with prescription medication & an application of Tiger Balm on forehead gives quickest relief. This has been my experience.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and it does help tremendously. I can't say it's a cure, but it does relieve the pain for hours

I know of a myriad of uses for it, my mother had tendinitis, I've got my own joint problems, and this works for it all. it relieves pain in much the way something like "Icy--Hot" or "Ben-gay" would work. this product is more effective than those major brand name products because apart from the menthol, which the big brands all have, it has camphor,cajuput, cassia and clove oils, which are ingredients used for hundreds of years for the same. my grandfather uses camphor oil for his pain. this has t be by far, the best pain relieving ointment I've ever tried, and the only one to provide relief for my chronic knee condition.

Can't say. I can say it didn't so well for the thumb arthritis/tendinitis I had. So if you have those ailments, consider something else.

The whole idea of this stabilizer is to keep the thumb moving away from the wrist so the tendonitis can heal[tendonitis for me] recommended by my personal physician. Just have to wait till it heals.

I found it a great help for the problem I had. I injured a tendon in my knee where my knee actually tried to move sideways! It would not hold me up. This brace was most helpful as I waited for the healing to take place. And I was careful to be sure I rested it so it would heal. It gave me all the support I needed. I first tried the over-the-counter bulky ones and they caused too much rubbing and irritation. This fit like a glove. I hope this helps you.

Are you being serious?It generally works on joint and muscle pain...I imagine it would work wherever you rub it, just keep in mind, some of the ingredients shouldn't come in contact with any mucous membrane.

This is the perfect heating pad for your achilles tendonitis. Yet, it is not recommended to bend, per the manufacturer's instructions. Laying the heating pad on top and across your foot should do fine. This pad is long and wide, plus the weight helps with keeping the heat in.

It works for my arthritic thumb, you had better ask a doctor about tendonitis/trigger finger.

Curcumin has excellent anti-inflammatory effect in the body. Tendonitis may or may not respond to it but I would not expect quick change. Tendons take a long time to heal even when the cause of the inflammation is gone such as a repetitive motion. I had tendonitis in both elbows from my job and it took a year to resolve without curcumin at the time. Even if you do not see discernable improvement, curcumin is worth taking anyway. This particular product is high quality. I chose it after thorough research. Interestingly, research shows just taking a moderate amount is more effective than a large dose so 500mg should be enough. Hope your pain is soon improved. Curcumin has excellent anti-inflammatory effect in the body. Tendonitis may or may not respond to it but I would not expect quick change.

I know it's good for pain. I use it every time a joint hurts. I don't think it a long term fix. It's extremely good for muscle soreness.

My mother said that it didn't help her. I Bought for her troxevasin by actavis 2 procent. She said it shrinked her tissue in a few weeks, pain and itching gone. Oitmenr cream i start using for muscle pain in sholders& legs. It warms up muscles. I like it.

I have used fat and it works fine, don't have any experience with tendon or muscles. However, I am sure it would work.

I purchased this for relief of bursitis and tendonitis and it worked very well. I had swelling and tenderness which the Slimfit helped relieve. It only reaches right above the ankle though. Hope this helps.

My Mother tried this for her back problems but it didn't help. Her problems were too deep for this to reach. Might work for tennis elbow.

Why yes, along with a free copy of the book Treat Your Own Achilles Tendinitis too. ;)

1st) It does not get cold like ice or the gel cold packs. So if you have tendonitis or a swollen ankle it will not work. 2) It is cold for about 7 minutes and cool/cold for about 12 minutes after that.
