Please forgive me if I mispelled that, but I think that is how it is spelled.

Sorry these are two completely different subjects, but I figured I would only post one post instead of two so I just clumped them together.

Is this a common problem, tendonitis? I've had it once before in my ankle while I was going through basic training years back but haven't had problems with it again until now. The last two days have been horrible for me, and the tendonitis feeling is really bad.

The cycle? It seems the last bout of extremely bad symptoms were 33 days ago, but I keep hearing people say ever 28 days. So could this be my cycle? Is everyone's cycle different? The last time it last for 3-4 days. I'm on day 3 of more excruiating than normal pain!

Thanks

I got tendonitis from levaquin. I did have snaps in my tendons prior to that but it did not last such a long time.

My symptoms waxed and waned with the moon, becoming worse when the moon was full. As soon as the moon began to wane again they got better. My lyme is under control now so I do not have many symptoms, just a couple spasms.

I don't know about the cycle part but bee venom cream helped my tendonitis and unexpectedly my restless legs!

Tendon problems - especially carpal tunnel - very common with lyme:

When to Suspect Lyme - by  John D. Bleiweiss, M.D.

==============

Magnesium, Fish Oil and Turmeric/Curcumin should help to decrease inflammation and calm pain. Braces or support wraps also have their place to help healing.

When ankles, knees, hips, back or even neck are involved proper footwear may be key, too. Good strong ARCH support at all times really matters. Finding a good podiatrist can be a life-saver.

Massage and "myofascial release" help me.

Proper body mechanics, too, are good:
