Dear MendMeShop,

Hi. I injured the tendons/ligaments all around my right ankle while Zumba dancing. It started swelling and aching so badly that I could hardly walk. I went to a specialist who x-rayed it and said permanent damage had been done and that I would probably have a lot of trouble with it the rest of my life and therapy wouldn't help. I am 61 but not ready to give up. He said nothing much could be done about it and I was prone to having trouble because I am naturally flat-footed with narrow feet that don't give me much support. I wasn't satisfied with that answer so I did research on the Internet and found that ultrasound 3x a day to increase circulation and get down deep inside the tissue could help. I found your website and decided to take a chance since I had no other choice. I religiously applied the gel and ultrasound 3x a day for six weeks at medium for 10 minutes. (I stopped after 3 weeks, but the ankle got worse within two days so I started again.) After two days the swelling decreased by half and the pain about 60%. During this whole time I was still taking dance but not jumping up and down, just doing arm movements. Also I work in a tax office where I am on my feet a lot and managed not to miss one day of work. Tax season is now over and I haven't used the ultrasound in two weeks. I still can't jump on the ankle and I have a few twinges now and then but am able to walk 2 miles a day at a normal pace. My gait is now normal and most people don't realize I'm still favoring the ankle a little. I'm sure I will have lifetime problems with the ankle, but as long as I have my ultrasound machine, I'm sure I'll be able to lead a normal life. I'm thrilled with the product and have recommended it to several people.

More Tendon Facts:

Ultrasound can speed tendonitis recovery significantly.

A fully ruptured Tendon REQUIRES surgery. It will not heal on its own.

Except for a fully ruptured tendon, Tendonitis can almost always be cured without surgery.

Left untreated, tendonitis can be extremely debilitating and lead to life long complications.

Continually using your Tendon while it is injured will lead to a worse injury.

To Heal as fast as possible:

Rest
Use a Cold Compression Wrap
Get Therapeutic Ultrasound Treatment
Avoid Pain Killers

 

Dear MendMeShop,

Hi, I'm a dance choreographer and school social worker. I developed scar tissue from an old fall years ago. This caused pressure to a nerve on top of my left foot causing severe pain every time I walked and swelling in my left knee from inflammation which caused my knee to be stiff everytime I walked. I tryed everything on the market but no relief. It has been one month since I started using your product three times a day. Praise the Lord ! an answer to my many years of prayer. No more pain in my left foot and my left knee is not stiff when I walk. The price of the adapter and gel is worth the money. I will continue to use this product for the rest of my life.I have shared this product with my doctor and many of my friends including a professional football player.

Dear MendMeShop,

I learned about your product from surfing the net looking for natural ways to heal tendon injuries. What I read on your site made sense to me. Your explanation of soft tissue injury healing, plus your money back guarantee led to my purchase of your products. I am very happy with both of the items I bought from your company! The pain in my elbow, which was a constant shooting pain, is gone! I am still using the Elbow inferno 2x/day and the ultrasound as fits my schedule. Thank-you so much for offering this kind of a product - I was determined not to go to a doctor. With your company's help I succeeded in mending at home and am back to my work out routine as before.

Strained Tendon (tendonitis, tendinitis)

Strained tendons can be painful.

The strained tendon is a common yet painful injury that will occur in almost everyone at least once in their lifetime. The trick with a strained tendon is to make sure it heals properly which will provide the lowest chance of re-injury. Re-injury of a strained or stressed tendon occurs more easily than the initial injury and there is usually much more inflammation around a re-injured tendon than there was during the first occurrence. Tendonitis is a degenerative condition in the tendon fibers that attach muscles to bone, and sufferers generally complain of a severe, burning pain in the area, which gradually worsens and is exacerbated by stress on the joint.

If you got it from a workout, heavily reduce your workout intensity through the healing stage, and make sure the injured tendon be warmed up (and down) properly before and after a workout where it will be stressed. When treating tendinitis, rest the area, apply cold compression for 10-20 minutes at a time for at least 3 times a day. Do this to the injured area for the first day up to 3 days.

Tendon Injury Facts:

When the tendon gets inflamed it is known as tendonitis, and when the tendons are chronically overused, it may lead to microscopic tears in the collagen matrix and causes a gradual weakening of the tissues.

Achilles tendonitis is a common injury among runners, as the Achilles tendon is responsible for helping you lift off the ground with each stride.

As computers become ever more important elements of the work place and everyday life, incidents of wrist tendonitis are on the rise.

Oral Medications can mask the pain but do not aid in the healing of tendonitis. Anti-inflammatories and pain killers can cause tendonitis to worsen.

Ice and Compression are the easiest and most effective treatments for tendonitis.

Dear MendMeShop,

Dear MendMeShop, I am using the ultrasonic device everyday 3 times and it is helping me! When I received it last Thursday, December 17th, 2010. I first read the booklet in English and underlined certain words, then used it as directed. I thought I was cured! The pain eased up and I could put my elbow in two other postitions I had been unable to. But! Alas, I came to realize that I must continue on to get total relief. The man I talked to on the 9th of December when I called was very good. I just want to say "Thank you for explaining the cold wrap was not the answer and would only give temporary relief." If you should get other calls from my area - you will know why! The "word" is out! Sincerely, Gayla

Dear MendMeShop,

With the many portable ultrasound machines now circulating through internet stores, I was very impressive with the high quality of this portable ultrasound machine. It provides pain relieving ultrasound therapy with an informative manual and all natural ultrasound gel. The MendMeShop ultrasound unit effectively treats muscle, tissue, tendon and bone pain. I think this device can improve the quality of life for many suffering from chronic and acute injuries. Instead of paying to use an ultrasound machine at the chiropractor or physical therapist, now you can get the same benefits DAILY in the comfort of your own home. I highly recommend MendMeShop's products for all your therapeutic ultrasound needs.
