What If The Pain Won't Go Away?
Sometimes pain is very persistant and still won't go away even with "slow
movement" type exercise therapy. If the pain persists, follow these
rules and your recovery should be much faster.
Rule #1
Once you get injured... everything changes. Forget about your current
rate of progress. Your new goal is to heal the injury. Focus all your
attention on getting better.
Rule #2
Don't lay off... It doens't help. The pain just stays with you... It
doesn't seem to matter how long you lay off. You must actually
work the injury out of the joint. Which leads to rule #3...
Rule #3
Find exercises that do not cause no pain. This is important! When I say
no pain, I mean no pain. Not pain that is tolerable or less than it was, I
mean no pain. You see... pain sets up a histamine reaction which causes
swelling and blocks circulation just like your nose plugs up with allergies...
That's why you take anti-histamines to reduce the swelling, so you can
breath again. Finding pain free exercises gets circulation into the injured
area. Also... the exercise has to be pain free even before you warm
up the joint. Not after.
Rule #4
Don't be fooled by endorphin release. It will mask the pain. Even if you
can't feel it... The injury is still taking place. You must find exercises
that don't cause pain without any warm-up. This will accelerate the
healing tremendously.
Rule #5
After you have once found pain free exercises, use a light resistance
and move very slowly through the exercise. It will stimulate nutrient
rich, healing blood to circulate into the area and sweep out all the
accumulated toxins.
Rule #6
Ice the injured area each night until it goes numb. Your body will sense
the cold and send more warm fresh blood to the injured area. Be
careful you don't over do it and get frostbite.
Rule #7
Take aspirin about every three hours, it is a mild anti-inflammatory
and allegedly thins the blood to aid in penetrating the swollen tissues.
Don't take it before workouts as it will mask pain. You need pain to
tell you when you are re-injuring yourself.
Rule #8
Don't ignore the first signs of pain. Be alert on every exercise. If you
feel a little tinge of pain, stop the exercise and go to something else.
Most of the damage can be avoided if you will be more alert to the
very first signs of pain. I'm talking about joint pain not the lactic
acid pain associated with muscles working
Okay now for the supplements
What happens with bone spurs, cysts, calcium deposits, its basically all because of the same problem.
It's caused by a calcium deficiency. What happens is, you get an injury of sometime, usualy it starts off minor but then gets progressively worse. Whats going on is, the body is deficient of calcium so the body has to utilize the calcium that's in the body. Usually it will take calcium from bones from the hip or some major bone and then you end up later on with more problems then you started with.
Calcium from your bones then gets in your blood stream and the calcium thats not in the blood stream has a different structure and when it travels through the body, it will usually go to an injured area and the calcium will build up and you'll end up with a bone spur, calcium deposit or something similar like your plantar fascia.
To heal it you should try to follow those rules i listed above if you can, but even if you can't you can still heal it and get better , but you will get better quicker.
Since your body is needing calcium you need to supplement with liquid or powder calcium in the form of tri calcium phosphate or calcium citrate and it has to be liquid or powder and preferably with magnesium citrate.
You will need to take 1 or 2 doses a day and preferable when you wake up and before you go to bed. If only once, then take it before bed. It can also help you sleep because it can calm you down.
If you take a normal dose it can take longer to get better because most supplement recommendations are for maintance and not for repair.
Take double the dose for up to 2 to 3 weeks or until you start feeling it working.
Thats just one part of the problem. You then have to fix the tendon sheeth and other parts that are connected to your tendons, bones, etc.
To do this you need to take glucosamine, manganese and gelatin.
Any brand can work if you can find one with all 3 ingredients or you can take them separate.
The 2 products i recommend is a product and you can only find it online pretty much. Its called youngevity glucogel and it has all 3 ingredients . It costs 36 dollars and well worth it. You will probably go through a whole bottle before you start seeing results but it could start working on day one.
The other product is called Osteo bi flex with knox nutrijoint. It cost 18 dollars i believe and you can get that at walmart and it actually contains the calcium, and all 3 of the ingredients of the glucogel. But, if you take this, you will need to take 2 doses a day and before bed take a separate calcium supplement but just once a day.
The way i describe how supplements work on injuries is different than how most would explain it.
Picture your muscle, bone or joint containing a cup. Your injured and the cup is empty and the cup just keeps getting longer and longer. You start taking the product and the cup starts to fill up. Your not seeing any results but your getting better without even knowing it and your not getting worse. The cups starts to fill and fill each day and week until one day, the cup becomes full.
Thats when you start seeing the results. The cup starts to flow over and then the supplement starts to work. It almost may of even made sense to you reading that. The body then will use what it can and start to heal the joints, or whatever needs healing.
The calcium, glucosamine, etc will then start to heal up the bone spur and strengthen everything surrounding it and before you know it your healed and in some cases it could end up being your strongest bodypart.
Also if you can, if you can stretch it and stretch it slowly, and its best to do this while your foot is warm if possible so do it after a shower or after you have walked for awhile.
Hold the stretch in the contracted position. Applying the ice too it will be painful especially applying the pressure but it will work.
You'll also find when taking these supplements your whole body will end up feeling better.
Alot of people ask me all the time why i never get injured and how I can fly around the court with no problem.
It's not all skill. I do eat junk but alot of it is taking the right vitamins and minerals and not being deficient.
It's when your deficient when your body starts to ache and have problems.
I started taking these supplements about 2 years ago when i injured my hip lifting weights , or i believe thats how i did it and in fact, I thought i almost would of had to quit lifting and tennis altogether, the pain was unbearable and then i started following the recommendations of a dr joel wallach who alot of people think is a quack. I saw his vids on youtube and thought this guy was a lunatic with his recommendations but everything made sense. I had nothing to lose.
One big thing he taught me was , that when a vitamin or mineral for example says to take 2. It means 2 for every 100 pounds of bodyweight. He was like chris, the reason your not getting better or it takes so long is because you need more. Your not going to get better taking the amount of a 100 pounder. You need to take 3 times the dose so I did,.
I didn't feel i was getting any better at all, and then all of a sudden i woke up one day feeling better. Thats kind of like the example of the cup finally getting full and starting to run over. I now had enough of the supplement in me that i can start healing. Then after you are healed up you can go back to a maintance dose .
Next thing you know now. Im stronger and better than ever, in fact, my right hip might even be my strongest bodypart now.
I'll explain more later if needed. But you should have an idea now on what to do.
