Question 1

chronic tendonosis exercises?

Accepted Answer

Tendinosis: Usually involves eccentric exercises.  Examples on the internet for specific tendons such as achilles tendinosis.  In essence in involves lengthening the tendon at the time you are trying to control the motion.  May involve heavier weight or resistance.

Question 2

what can  be the best medication to take for tendonosis pain?

Accepted Answer

NSAIDs are most: Commonly prescribed as they cut down the inflammation and can help a great deal with pain. There is a little controversy to this though, as some functional based physicians feel  nsaids can actually cause poor healing in a tendonosis, leading to recurrences and ruptures. The same argument goes for steroid injections. If you agree with this, you can consider prp or prolotherapy as well.

Question 5

could you describe "eccentric exercises" specifically for
gluteuus minimus tendinosis?  thanks! (i'm asking for my wife.)
