Is there any herbal medicine that can reduce the pain of tendonitis?

Question

My husband suffers badly from this and is especially bad now, I think because of the weather.

The problem is he is a gardener and needs his strength, but this pain is causing such mental grief that he can`t work without wanting to cry!

Is there any suggestions for this?

Answer 1

My husband was suffering badly from tendonitis was conventional medicine was not working. A friend told us about horesetail extract found in Silica Complex and he started taking it daily. He has not had 1 flair up since being on his daily regime of 1 pill daily. I started taking it for my knee and it has helped with the inflamation. It also has a wonderful side effect. I now have beautiful nails to boot.

I hope this helps

I'm sorry you are in so much pain. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia several years ago, but experienced symtoms for about 14 years. Mine started with a back problem, and like you, took several rounds of oral steriods with temporary relief. My symtoms have changed over the years, however, poor sleep, pain issues, fatigue and weight gain (60 lbs) are the constant ones. Had many tests, none conclusive. Things that have helped me cope are: medications - ambien for sleep; Lexapro - seems to stop some of the pains signals to the brain; Naproxen- for inflammation not related to fibro; muscle relaxers as needed and Vicodin for breakthrough pain I have a small hot tub, try to stretch often and try to excercise very carefully (Yoga DVD for people with chronic pain). I wish you could find some answers - I have a really great GP who understands and really listens to me. I hope this helps you, I know how you feel.

Answer 3

Unfortunately gardening is just one of those activities that irritate tendonitits. I take Diclofenac and pain killers. Dont know of a herbal medicine. I dont take herbal medicines due to the fact they are not tested.

HI Great Thinker

Here are some ideas to heal the issue.

Cause
Tendonitis can be caused by decreased circulation to the tendons from repeated or chronic trauma. The most common repeated or extreme trauma is excessive exercise and/or strain. Certain diseases can also cause tendonitis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune disorders, gout, Reiter`s syndrome (an inflammatory syndrome), excessively high blood cholesterol levels, and sexually transmitted diseases.

Natural Cures

Note: Treatment of tendonitis needs to include immobilization of the affected area, compresses with cold or heat, oral and topical pain relievers, and therapeutic exercise, which should be done more often as joint heals and is able to tolerate increased movement.

Diet: Avoid nightshade plants (white potato, tomato, eggplant, all peppers except black, and tobacco); if restricted for a long time, over years, this may be effective. Assessment and treatment of food allergies is imperative, as inflammation may be aggravated by food allergies in many people.

Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream® applied topically over the affected areas can soothe pain and speed healing.

Herbs: Combine equal parts of the tinctures of willow bark, cramp bark, and prickly ash and take one teaspoon of this mixture three times a day.

Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Aconite, Thuja, Ruta grav., Belladonna, and Apis mel.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment.
*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.

Nutritional Supplementation: Useful nutrients for tendonitis include vitamin B complex, vitamin B6, vitamin C with bioflavonoids, vitamin E, bromelain, essential fatty acids, cod liver oil, calcium, magnesium, manganese, selenium, and D-phenylalanine.

Topical Treatment: Massage the affected areas with a mixture of salt and vinegar, then wrap with several layers of gauze or muslin soaked with this mixture.

Alternative Professional Care: If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown useful for treating tendonitis: Acupressure, Acupuncture, Bodywork, Biofeedback Training, Chiropractic, Craniosacral Therapy, Detoxification Therapy, Energy Medicine (Light Beam Generator, Ondamed, TENS), Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Neural Therapy, Osteopathy, Oxygen Therapy (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy), Prolotherapy and Yoga.

Best of health to you
