I have tendinopathies in my thumb, forearm, elbows, shoulders, (Achille's) heel, and foot.
I can't afford PT.
How can I treat all of them at once in one PT routine?

Take a 1-2 week break from lifting while eating a surplus
It's been like this since 20018.
So I just simply Google the eccentrics for each tendon, and do slow eccentrics for each one?
How long will it take?
I can't believe they still haven't found a cure that far into the future.
>How long will it take?
just long enough that you're going to habitually reinjure yourself out of impatience
>So I just simply Google the eccentrics for each tendon, and do slow eccentrics for each one?
Yep pretty much. Do them very slowly (10-15s) for the evcentric portion, and dont do the concentric portion. For example if you have patellar tendinopathy, you the going down portion of a squat on the affected leg, then use your other leg to go back up, or grab on to something and lift yourself. 3 sets, 10-15 reps per set, every or every other day. And more is not necessarily better, listen to your body if it gets worse
Also, tendinopathy in your foot could be a shoe problem. Look into orthotics. Theyre expensive but worth it, get them on a site like upstep since the doctor will overcharge you and insurance wont cover it
What this guy said
When u do eccentrics you might feel some pain. This is normal, it will feel painful before it gets better. 3 to 5/10 on pain scale. Use your sense and don't overdo it. But don't be afraid of pain. If it doesn't hurt, it's probably too mild.
You might even not even have to stop excercise if this helps you.
How long should I keep doing eccentrics to heal completely?
And once I recover, are the "repairs" permanent or will my tendons dysrespair on their own as soon as I stop PT?
Do it until no longer needed. The scar tissue will regain close to normal function with time, if this is really what you have.
Look up cross friction massage too if you want. Personally i like the excercises more. If you do it, it should also be relatively painful.
Take a photo or video of yourself during your every day movements. Front/back/side and check for asymmetry.
>It's been like this since 20018
This homie from the future
>people from the future use time machines to ask questions on IST
Very slow eccentric excercises for the affected tendons. Take a collagen supplement as well if you want. And ne patient, tendons heal bery slowly and if you reinjure them youll put back your recovery quite a bit
HGH
Can't afford that shit
2018*
Saunas increase HGH. Take long, hot as possible saunas every day. Massage in the sauna.
Also, I have found that inflammation from diet makes mine worse. Make sure you are eating clean. No alcohol. No bullshit fast food goy slop. Meat, fish, eggs, rice, vegetables (moderately don’t go crazy).
I can't eat meat or eggs anymore. Ever since I got corona in 2020 they taste rotten literally.
It's like I am eating an animal carcass. I want to throw up.
Eggs have an oily taste and leave an oily feeling and taste in my throat.
It's not going away 🙁
Well we found your problem. You are suffering from chronic inflammation from poor diet. Fix that shit. Find some meat or fish or shellfish or something that you can tolerate. (Try pasture raised stuff or wild animals maybe it will taste better?)
Until you fix your diet issues your problem is not going to go away. It’s not normal to have tendinopathy in so many places, you are likely collagen deprived from bad diet. At very least start taking regular collagen supplementation 40 grams every morning and 40 grams at night. Plus a microdose of vitamin C at the same time will help. Don’t go too crazy with vitamin C though, you can frick up your body’s recycling of it if you provide too much. Try to keep below 1/2 RDA in supplementation.
How are your poops? Keep changing your diet until you’re hitting a perfect 4/7 on the Bristol scale.
I've received a lot of information and I don't know if I can do all of this at once.
I am a lazy person, but is it worth it getting all of this advice written down on a notepad so I can start implementing it tomorrow?
Should I just inhumanely push through eggs and eat them even if they taste like shit?
Why complain about things and ask for help if you can’t be bothered to take two supplements and do a few simple exercises? Takes literally 20 minutes out of your day, max.
Are you a woman?
I have to do 80x3 everyday for my thumb, forearm, elbow, shoulders, calves, heel, foot. I don't think that's gonna take 20 minutes bro
You’re right, it might take an hour. Might as well give up, no use in working to fix your issues, right?
>female confirmed
How long until I can return to exercising normally? 1 year?
You probably have stomach cancer.
You need to rest and recover
I've been resting since 2018. The moment I walk with a fast pace, my foot's big toe tendon starts hurting (not gout), my Achille's heel starts burning and my calves start burning too.
I do dumbbell curls then my forearms, elbows and shoulders start burning and I feel tightness in my elbow tendon.
I write too much with the pencil and I get tendonitis in my thumb.
It's driving me crazy.
You mean lactic acid build up?
High reps (60+), light weight. Cardio. Every day.
Your body will create more blood vessels and increase tje size of the ones you have. Better blood flow = better access to nutrients = faster recovery.
Tendon heal slowly because of bad blood flow
I like Dr. Jo on YouTube. Her videos are pretty based, but she does seem to be a little bit too close with her dogs (if you catch my drift)
REST
My Heart
Can she beat me up pls
I saw a study that if you go hardcore enough in a sauna it can raise your HGH by like 18x or some shit
So that's why the nords are heightmaxxed
