So the recent repost of the link between lyme arthritis and calcification and my ongoing tendon and knee problems (despite my best efforts at home) have me finally deciding to seek out ultrasound treatment.

Anyone have success with ultrasound treatments on tendonosis? How often and how long did you go for? Are home units worth anything at all?

needs repeating to do anything worthwhile, wont be worth a long drive. but you could learn it and then look for your own to use daily.

better off buying your own pro unit vs consumer model if you can find one. consumer is low power, to low. Pro uniots are high power- must move around to not "burn" insides.

have used both.

Cross friction with a golf ball seems to breake up the calcification- rollers are too soft. empjhasis om cross friction vs longitudinal (with the grain).

I corrected some areas fats with aggressive cross friction followed by dmso and natural topical of your choice (anrica, mag, penetrex ect).

Despite the 9 hour round trip. Where I live is great until you’re sick... and then it’s not. On the upside I might be able to squeeze the sauna in to that day trip so all is not lost.

A couple years ago while treating bart first time around - I woke up with an excruciating painful right shoulder. (The front of my shoulder - not the top)
Couldn’t even raise my arm.

Saw my Dr - she gave me a topical pain cream and said it was tendinopathy... and suggested I talk to my physio.

My physio did the ultrasound on it twice a week.

It slowly got better over time.
First few days were horrible.
I think it was a few weeks before it was completely better.

Chalked it up to lyme and co’s since I did nothing to cause it.

For those of you with fibrotic or injured tendons please look into BPC-157. Its peptides given in injection where the injured tendon is. I partially tore my tricep tendon Earlier this year rolling over in bed (thanks Lyme). My arm was swollen and stiff and getting stiffer. After diagnostics led nowhere with orthos my Lyme doc prescribed BPC-157. My pt was amazed at how well it worked. He could feel my tendons softening and range of motion returning. My arm was so stiff I couldn’t straighten my elbow at all. It’s powerful stuff! Stands for body protection compound and far better for tendon injuries that steroids. No side effects other that a bit of pain to inject.

Hi Chick. Did you inject at the site of the injury or into belly fat? I tried bpc 157 for my ongoing tendon issues and it didn't seem to do much. I was injecting mostly into belly fat. Maybe I'll give it another go.

I injected right at the injury site. It was my elbow so I injected as close to the tendon as I could. It’s far more effective to inject at the site of pain/injury from what I understand. I think the belly is more useful if you are using it for digestive inflammation.
