I have tendenitis as well as a Peroneus brevis tendon split tear in which I will have surgery in the next few weeks. I have been using Move Free Ultra now for about 3 months. I have tried other supplements for the same purpose which were much more costly and the pills were much larger and more difficult to swallow. I find these to work just as well, though it can be different for everyone. I have had my 81 year old mother on them for about 2 months because of arthritis in her knees and it does not seem to help her situation. For the price, I would try for at least 2 months. It takes that long for most supplements to actually start working effectively. It doesn't hurt. Hope that answers your questions. Good luck.

I have used it during boot camp, didn't really do what I needed. However, I found out I have a torn tendon, so I have a boot cast on which is helping. I figured when it heals I can go back to this for support.

I had rotator cuff surgery back in 07 which is why I bought another one of these. You can ease in to the work out and limit the amount of force you exert. However I would not recommend using this to it's full extent until you are completely healed. When all else fails ask your Surgeon or Physical Therapist for their recommendation.

I am not sure if the wrap is a cure for a meniscus injury yet? I think I have a small meniscus injury and I can say this wrap has been incredibly helpful. I use it five times a day with ice. I can say that am really grateful for this wrap. I was in so much pain before I found it and now after using this wrap I have gotten rid of the pain and swelling. The reason I cannot say it can heal a meniscus tear is because I am still not sure if this type of injury and be healed without surgery. I am hoping so but I don't have enough information yet. Bottom line this is a fantastic tool for a joint injury or muscle pain.

I actually did just try it on my right shoulder and it does work as well in side out. I'm having a second shoulder surgery on my right shoulder, but probably not for a solid year due to the fact that my Scapula has a grade 3 detachment and. There is a hills sachs deformity in my shoulder Already that can't be fixed along with. Screws and achors and wires. I'm a bit worried. I wish you the best of luck. If you are not happy with your physical therapist finds one you are happy with. That is key.... and but this product. Sorry, for the lengthy answer.

This works similar to a foam roller. Over time it will help relieve symptoms of shin splints, achilles tendonitis, ITB issues, etc. I would consider allowing a friend to use the roller stick on you as they will apply a little more pressure than you will, though don't apply pressure right on the shin bone. Use it on muscles only. It will be uncomfortable but is well worth it in the long run.

Kevin, so far I have had no problems, just good results. I have scoliosis pretty bad, and between physical therapy and using this lumbar support, I feel that it has helped me a great deal. After so many years of poor posture, this reminds me to sit straight. I hope this does well for you.

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.

I suffer from tennis elbow due to years of working out (mostly from weighted chin-ups). Although I use these to stabilize my wrists during heavy barbell exercises, I do not consider them therapeutic for my elbows. However, I discovered that regular foam rolling during warm-ups works great. I recommend gently rolling the pain points of the elbow joints before and after workouts. If you dont have one, just use a cylinder pad from a leg curl machine.

HI again! I wanted to add that topical treatments like this are a must.But there are some fantastic supplemental formulas too. CURAMIN is such a strong pain reliever that it out does my prescriptive pain relievers for certain types of pain. And I've had my shoulder pulled out of the socket by muscle spasms and then held there for a year while my massage therapist worked on tearing my muscles back into shape and it popped back in.

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.

I've had Tendlite for about 3 weeks so I'm no expert. From my experience so far, I can say, don't expect this to be a quick fix. I get quicker pain relief using a TENS unit, even Bengay is faster. I think the infrared/tendlite treatment is more of a long term process.

Not that I know of but have to ask the manufacturer. Per my experience I've found it to be a huge help for: faster soft tissue recovery from sprains, strains, tears, soreness, bruising, or just joint or muscle weakness. Can be use as prevention to add strength or support to an area of shoulders, arms, legs or back for sport or physical effort of many types. Introduced by a licensed Physical Therapist Ada Wells of Alameda - she might be able to better answer your question.

While this is a decent unloader brace, I don't think it would be enough for you. I used it for an OCD in my knee until I could get surgery. It provided some relief for me but my pain levels were nowhere near what you describe. I would look at the Donjoy line of braces. They are very pricey but for long term use and effectiveness they may better serve your needs. Also, this brace did start to fall apart after about 3 months.

I use it for musculoskeletal pain and it works well. I would not use it on top of topical prescription drugs. When used alone the only problems would be skin allergy to one of the essential oils

I wish I knew, Tom. I did purchase one of these devices. It helps in the morning, when I apply it to the sides and back of my heel (I have a heel spur poking into my Achilles tendon, and I'm anticipating surgery for that in January). It does seem to warm and relax those areas somewhat. But you don't use a conducting gel with it. I'm guessing that the terms for these retail devices are not applied as stringently as one would hope. I wish you good luck, if you decide to use it. From my own experience, I would say it's decent, though not outstanding, help for small areas. And it takes about 15 minutes to get an effect. So, I am an impatient person and don't always want to wait... Take care! I wish I knew, Tom. I did purchase one of these devices.
