Some ABX (Levaquin especially) can cause tendonitis. I've read in several postings that taking magnesium and amino acids helps.
I tried a clay poultice to pull out toxins and that helped quite a bit.
Any thing else people have had success with?

Are you saying you have tendonitis?
What medications are you on?
Are you taking magnesium?

I got tendonitis from levaquin. The pain continued at night keeping me awake with aching, for 8 months. I had to sleep sitting up.
I took a supplement that eased the pain immediately - the first night. As it was very expensive I tried to duplicate the ingredients and what I used continued to help.
Whenever I quit using it, the pain came back so I believe what I was using worked.
Although I was taking a lot of supplements I believe what helped with the healing was 500mg magnesium citrate, 500 mg DL Methionine and 500 mg L Lysine.
I also took 100mg hyaluronic acid which supports the joints and collagen, 1000mg acetyl L carnitine and 600 mg Alpha Lipoic Acid which is a powerful detoxer.

Vitamin C is also supposed to help with tendonitis, even from cipro/related abx.
