I have a question about tendons?

[kellyg83]

sometimes, when i get up in the morning, my tendons lock up so tight that i can hardly walk. the same thing happens to me when i'm at work, so that i end up walking with a limp. it's even happened when i get off work, when i sit down to take my shoes off. it takes me at least another hour to be able to stand up and walk again. it's rather irritating, but i cannot take time off of work because then i won't be able to pay rent.

i have tried tendon stretches, bananas, and even hot water (this tends to loosen them up a bit). has anyone else ever had this problem? or know what to do about it?

Its your tendons or your muscle? Probably you need potassium and magnesium. Bananas and black chocolate are ok for potassium and diary products for calcium and magnesium. But I would see a doctor for a blood test, because it is not normal

Could be lack of excercise or actively during the day, your body could be more susceptible to inactivity, glucosamine is good for stiff joints if it's not really your tendons but you're pretty young to have these problems

sorry wish i could help. if it were a joint issue i'd be your man... perhaps you should just call a doctor

[kellyg83]

yeah. i had a suspicion that it might be a potassium deficiency. the bananas seem to help too. so does stretching with a jump rope.

Calcium imbalance can cause this. Ask your doctor to check your thyroid and serum calcium.

Perhaps poster. If you're poster is off, your tendons will tighten in unnatural ways.

I got the same issue. It manifested to sciatica
