[RC] re: rider tendonitis - Teresa Van HoveMy doc it is 'tendonitis' (well duh) and said to wear low heels to avoid stretching the tendons and that it should improve in a few days. Well, as long as I wear heels it is OK, but any time I walk bare foot or wear flats, it flares up again. I still don;t understand why my tendons contract in my sleep when there has been no excessive stress to them. Now the 'bows' seem to be permanent.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any ideas? I'm not crazy about wearing heels! Go to a good physical therapist. -and/or a better doc. Sounds like you need a guided pgm to control inflamation and then strectch and strengthen the tendons. But if I was a P/T (I'm a 'puter pgmer) I think I'd want to do an eye's on evaluation before recommending something. You might get lots of "when I had this my P/T or doc had me do this" but who's to know if they had the same condition. You might have started the tendonitis by riding - the heels down riding position does stretch them more than typical use and they do have load on them while stretched; but get some more prof help than "wear heels for a few days" Cheers, Teresa =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
