Re: Bullworker and Arthritis: another story

[Guest guest]

I began using the BW@ in March, 2006, in a rehab attempt after I was

diagnosed with acute tendonitis in both elbows. (I couldn't pick up a

cup of coffee at a certain forearm angle)

After about 1 month of PT, I began using the BW. (1 6-8 second rep per

exercise, at 70% exertion.)

Well, my tendonitis began going away almonst immediately. By May, my

right arm was virtually healed; by July, my left was in great condition!

I was using the BW about 4-5x a week, staying within the proscribed

protocol (8 seconds at 70%).

Although I don't have the power meter any longer, I can visually tell

where I was 10 months ago, and where I am now... solid increases in

every BW exercise.

Tendonitis? Gone!

[Guest guest]

Quick question. Inside or outside of elbow? I have it bad on inside, cortisone, acupuncture, creams-nothing is working. And I'm not working out! I'm going crazy.

I had common tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis. I'd call this

the outside of the elbow.

If you look on the web, there is a host of treatments, including the

anti-inflamitories, heat/cold and cortisone that you tried, but also

radical approaches such as shock wavetherapy and even injections of

your own blood into the exact location of the inflamation.

I forgot to mention that I iced mine religously (along with electric

stim and ultrasound), and that the PT & rest lasted for about 6 weeks

before I began light rehab.

The problem is, in today's world, how can you possibly rest your

elbow? Maybe an elbow brace can remind you to keep from using it.

When I was advised that I could begin the physical rehab, the

proscribed exercise were wrist rolls/curls with light dumbells. I

began with this, but quickly switched to the Bullworker exclusively.

There is no doubt in my mind that the isometric routine hastened my

reovery. I've been pain free since June 2006, and I'm still using the

BW, now about 3-4x a week.

In my case, the BW gives me the necessary strength to avoid the over-

exertion of the tendon in the first place.

Another note: you may have read that Nitric oxide plays a role in

tendon healing. Therefore, the amino acid arginine -- which is used

by the body to produce NO -- may be useful as well.

Good luck with your rehab!

[Guest guest]

Thank you.

Its been an ordeal. I thought I remembered my BW irritating me, but I may give it another go. Cortisone works, but then you forget and do something stupid. Acupuncture combined with heat were great, but it still "let go" after a while. I'm still trying to find out who (or what) does the blood injections. Anyway, it stinks getting old.

For all interested, the best conditioned/best physique athlete I ever knew was a kid I grew up with, and he used nothing but a BullWorker!

Look up a device called Quantum qxi machine. You'll

find a lot of derogatory stuff about it, but my wife

has a disease - reflex sympathetic dystrophy - a nerve

disease. She has been treating with the machine via a

chiropractor and has achieved remarkable results.

I'd try to explain the device if I could. It does work

for many things, though, regardless of what some say.

If it sounds 'space agey' it really isn't.

Consider Trigger Point Therapy. It might just do

the job. I find the book by Davies, which

I just borrowed from the library, quite good.

http://www.triggerpointbook.com/

http://www.triggerpointbook.com/tennisel.htm

Another is EFT:

http://www.emofree.com/a/?239/newcomer.htm

The above two technics can be learned and applied

yourself. They could be valuable adjuncts to

whatever else is being done. If you're lucky, they

may be the solution to the problem.

Also, try DMSO. If there's no improvement in a day

or two, there won't be any. But if it works, you'll

know almost immediately. Lots of sources of DMSO in

Amazon.

Sorry, by 9 I meant 9 shoulder surgeries. The 28 is easy on the rotator cuffs which I have torn completely and massively. They have been repaired but again have retorn. The 28 is perfect for this condition.matt wingo wrote: Dont push your luck on that shoulder. I have had 9. Love the Bullworker but it always aggravated the conditions.

Thanks Gerry:

I will try items 1 and 2. I tried the DMSO route with greats hopes but it was a dismal failure. Plus, with the latent sour milk/garlic smell, my wife was ready to throw me out of the house. An x football player told me that would be a good try for muscle soreness, not ligament, tendons, etc.

My extensive experience with DMSO shows something

different, and that is, DMSO is not so good for

muscle problems (which includes tendons), but is

excellent for joint problems (arthritis). I think

that technically, things like tennis elbow are

not in the arthritis category.

Gerry

[Guest guest]

I did find some stuff on the net (CT Cream) (am I supposed to say that?) which has been working very well.

Like I said, the DMSO did nada, but thats what I originally heard, that its good for joint probs. I guess tennis and golfers elbow are on the sides, not really in the joint itself.
