Right now I have the following injuries to:
My achilles, likely tendonitis for a year (from basketball, landed awkwardly)
My rotator cuff, for 2-3 months (from tennis, happened in one session)
My wrist, for 2-3 months (not sure what it's from)
My knee, likely tendonitis, for 5 months (snowboarding, landing a jump)
My ankle, for a week, (slap shot to the ankle)
And they're all just piling up. When I was younger my body was so resilient, I could get injured and be fine in a couple days or a week. But now, every injury or ache that I feel lasts much much longer. I'm still young, why is this happening?
I've done physio, I've iced, I've taken ibuprofen, I've worn braces, I've rested.
But these injuries just won't go away. Could there be something more general that is responsible for all of these injuries? Could I have injury prone tendons, or something to do with my blood, possibly? I don't know. What kind of tests can I do to diagnose the underlying cause, if there is one, to my injuries?
All responses are appreciated.
