Tendonitis is overwhelmingly prevalent in virtually all sports. I've got it in my knees, plus Osgood-Schlatter's, and I'm now getting it in my elbow. Consultation with a doctor has, invariably, yielded the following advice, "If it begins to hurt, cease playing. Return to playing when it no longer hurts." Of course, then you go back, continue playing again, and since tendonitis is recurrent... back comes the injury. Vague circumstantial details. So I put out the question to you... what can I and all of us do to prevent it? I've heard general discussion about use of weights as strengthening surrounding muscles, but does anyone know anything specific? Cho-Pat and similar straps are definitely great post-injury, but are they useful prior as well? Thanks.
If it is the elbow, it is probably inflammation of the junction of either the muscle and tendon or the tendon and bone, or both, near the elbow. All sports that use the arm, badminton, tennis, javelin throwing, baseball, squash, etc. tend to suffer from this. When you develop your muscles from hitting a ball or object in one direction repeatedly, your muscles will naturally develop an imbalance. It is this imbalance that causes this muscle/tendon, tendon/bone inflammation. As your doctors say, a long rest will help. Or you can do some stretching exercise to reverse the imbalance.

i don't be very sure but i think there are 2 types of do movements and ("raise") weight using "tendons Normal tension" and using mucles. if i do the first one---> pain!.
