RSI / Tendonitis long term

Tim Robbins

Hi,

I have long term tendonits in both forearms (and wrists). Brought on from desk work. I have seen various phyios, consultant and it has been coming and going but never really going. I have tried several keyboards, mouse etc. Had MRIs on both arms just getting tendons inflamed. Have the moonlander keyboard and elecom huge trackball mouse. Also have a stand up / seat down desk

Can anyone advice anything else?

Thanks

Tendonitis is inflammation and if you pause eating inflammatory foods you would help your body to heal.

Please watch Jill Cook lecture on tendonitis to understand the root cause

Thanks, the anti - inflammatory foods, do they apply to tendons etc?

I was seeing a sports consultant and multiple physios about this. I was hoping someone with similar issues could help know what is the best type of consultant to visit as it is not a sports injury.

What specialty was he? Had you tried physio?

I also had cortizone injection.

Tim If you hit your finger with the hamer each day would the finger ever heal?
