I’ve had enthesitis before but they were manageable.

I recently had some MRIs done, and have tendinosis in several areas. Has anyone been able to resolve this issue? Everything I have tried to throw at it so far is not helping 😢 And it’s more painful than before.

Rheumatologist explained that biologics and anti-inflammatories don’t work for tendinosis because it’s no longer inflammation like enthesitis/tendinitis. He says treatment is PT and PRP 😭 But, I already done those

Hi! I’m a disabled woman in her 30’s looking for other woman friends.

My hobbies consist of watching anime, Cdramas, shows, etc. I also like reading/listening to books, drinking tea, beginner loom knitting, visual novels, video games, and spending time in nature when I can.

I enjoy going to the movies, getting boba, going to tea rooms, visiting the library/bookstores, walking in botanical gardens, going on short walks at the park, sitting in creeks, and going to the mountains/forest when I can (Sitting around a campfire while listening to music is one of my fave activities 😊).

If anyone is down please feel free to message me! 🙏💜

Edit: Mods if this is not allowed, I’m sorry and feel welcome to take down this post. Just thought I try to find friends somehow 😭

I was undiagnosed for 11+ years. Which lead to tendinosis several areas, tendon tears, labrum tears, ligament tears, etc.

Finally got a diagnosis and started biologics.

Biologics have helped with the stiffness, joint pains, and digestive pains (I had digestive pains for 14 years before diagnosis that never went away despite what I did until biologics). I’m now able to do PT more, walk more, and my mobility increased.

Tendon pains though, have not really changed 😭

For tendons, I just have good pain days and bad pain days.

I go on here and see people be pain free. I know I’m not supposed to be compare. But, I often feel like I’m not doing enough? Despite doing everything I can (PT strengthening 2-3x a week, chair workouts like chair yoga, seated Pilates, etc., walking, anti-inflammatory diet, vitamins/supplements, injections, some surgeries, collagen peptides, etc.)

Even rheumatologist, PT, orthopedic, and therapist says I am doing everything I can it’s just that I was undiagnosed for years.

Anyone else also undiagnosed for years and not entirely pain free? 😢

Hi! I’ve posted here before but mainly for my shoulder issues (Tendinosis, tendon tears, etc. both shoulders). But, I also have issues in my other joints, neck, upper back, etc.

I am diagnosed with Seronegative Axial Spondyloarthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, and what my doctors tell me are “early” Arthritis since my 20’s (I’m in my 30’s now).

I have been doing what I can with what I can afford (We’re a low income family).
And that consists of rehab (Isometrics, eccentrics 2x a week), anti-inflammatory diet & vitamins/supplements, collagen peptides with bone broth, etc.). I also have been in therapy as well.

My inflammatory markers in my bloodwork have been good (My joint and digestive pains improved). But, the tendinosis and tendon pains in general have just been relentless and at times feel worse.

A few months ago, I was doing 6-10 reps with eccentrics. And also 6 reps 10 second holds with isometrics. My Rhuematologist and PCP nudged me to do more reps so I am now at 2 sets of 10 reps for eccentrics. But, again, I just feel worse in my tendons? I also was wondering if light stretching (Ex: Chest opening via doorframe, chair yoga) are bad for tendinosis?

Also, would like to mention that tendinosis pains feels way worse 1-3 days after eccentrics training 😢

I’m sorry. I just feel really defeated because I keep trying but my tendons are just not complying 😢

Hello! I have been chronically ill for the past 11+ years, recently it has progressed and I’m more disabled than before. I use a walker and a cane (Doing everything I can with PT to avoid a wheelchair). I also have lifting restrictions from my doctors of 10-15 lbs.

My previous job has offered to give me some re-education credits to go back to school. So, I was looking into the Medical Assistant field.

So, I just want to know the reality of how it’s like working as a Medical Assistant. Is it a physically demanding job? Is it a lot of standing? Is there a lot of lifting and pushing? Is there mandatory overtime? Are employers okay with hiring disabled individuals willing to work? Etc.

Just looking for advice and honesty.

Thank you so much for your help!
