tendonitis

[kevin d]

Returned back to work on monday after christmas had to take down some pine trees. Towards the end of the day my wrists were aching and got worse the next day. I probly should of stopped work before then But was working for new company and how would it of looked if i took my second day of work off sick. I probably would of made it much worse if i didnt get snowed off for the rest of the week. Whent to the doctors today and have been told i have tendonitis in both arms. Has any one else had same injury how long did it take to recover does it still give problems etc.

Yip. I have had same prob.

 

I am sure mostm other tree workers have had some form of tendonitis also.

 

Heres the reason. - repetitive strain through handsaw / ropes / chainsaw use.

 

doing the same thing day in day out your muscles will actually get weaker..best thing to do is buy some grippers / do some stength work on area you are getting tendonitis ( but not to much or don't push it hard )

 

also stretching the area affected lighty ( yes even the wrist ) will help recovery. ( look up PNF stretching ) physio's use this type of stretching the help atheletes get more flexable and stronger in injured are at same time.

 

also cut down on the bishop bashing

I only ever get bishops tendon in one arm:blushing:. Strange no?

Had it in one of my ankles. Very painful, couldn't even wear shoes. Like above light stretching solved it.

oh yeah. ask proffessional atheletes. thats why they mix the training up from month to month.

 

if you wanted to get strong at bench press..would you do it everyday..or once a week for a couple months then take time of and go back to it?

 

strength gains are made when the body forgets its limits.

 

Weakness develops when the body is over trained in the same way over long peroid of time..add no stretching to that and you are asking for injuries.

 

so using a hand saw day in and day it out with no stretching..over time you are likely to get problems with wrist.
