Forums › Trooper’s Training Forum – In memory of Col. James “Jim” R Tirey, USA › Anti-Tedonitis Measures
I pulled a tendon in my wrist and it’s not really improving a month later. Finally went to a ortho because there was a small bone in the same area that could be broken, but xrays say no.
Are there dietary/supplemental steps that can help with reducing connective tissue inflammation or improve strength? I avoid NSAIDs since they can allegedly slow healing, but I’ve found the last year repetitive impacts on the feet (running) and hands (golf) can cause issues that seem to heal quite slowly.

Tendon issues happen because of some sort of unexpected spike in stimulus or acute injury like perhaps in your case? The Barbell Medicine forum is pretty useful as you get actual PTs and powerlifting MDs giving free advice. I think the medical thinking these days is you’ll need to train your way out of it. Tendons, even sore ones, crave load. It’s counter-intuitive but resting them can just cause the injury to hang around. Still there are conditions around how much pain is permissible etc. so it might be nuanced.
I’ve had a wrist complaint for years but lately it seems like a lot of heavy carries, wrist curls, forearm and grip work has made it vanish.
If we’re talking about supplements, it’s not generally considered an inflammatory condition these days either apparently, so anti-inflammatories aren’t recommended.
Not really a supplement – but to deal with a long running issue I purchased a theraband flex bar knockoff (dmoose, amazon) and have been doing the “tyler twist” and “reverse tyler twist.”
While they are centered on elbow issues, I can’t imagine they don’t help with wrist issues.
As a side benefit, I’m now sure I could give some wicked handjobs at sexually fluid night clubs.
Tendinitis/osis seems to respond best to eccentric loading, intially.
The above mentioned “Tyler Twist” has been very useful for elbow tendonitis (I think Sangoma originally mentioned this).
Seems like the underlying philosophy now is “load heals”. You just have to understand how to apply that load for your condition.
