Guest guest Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Can anyone recommend something that would help nourish and repair ligaments and tendons? I've had weak ligaments all my life and recent injuries at the gym have given me tendonitis. I had joined a gym with a fitness program that I'd hoped would help me work out despite my limitations and, unfortunately, they left me worse off than I was before I started. Not only did I wind up with serious " tennis elbow " but they had me on a no salt diet that screwed up my electrolyte balance and caused massive muscle spasms! As you can imagine, I'm warning folks to stay away from that place. Thanks, Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Nutritionally, make sure you have vitamins ACE and omega 3 oils (reduce inflammation), get enough calcium and magnesium to help heal muscles and connective tissue. You can also try some homeopathic remedies, such as Rhus tox, Phytolacca or Byronia. If it is an acute problem you could use Arnica. Rhus - worse in the morning, better for movement Phytolacca - pain at where the tendon connects, worse for heat Byronia - worse with slightest motion, being jarred, or cold and better for heat Paul http://www.AltHealthInfo.com --- " Anna L.
