2015 Titan SV here, 140k miles.

So far it's been a solid truck. I have had a few issues. Replaced the starter, and my heater failed (seems this is a common problem with them, and I have weird electronic issues (volume on the radio changes by itself, display not working on the screen) these don't happen frequently, but they happen.

All in all, it's been very solid mechanically.

When I was doing IM injections into the Vastus Lateralis (VL) I was anterior to the IT band and usually somewhere between the top 1/3 and bottom 1/3 of the VL. That should be about the meatiest part of your VL.

Looks like you're injecting it right into your IT band. I would go a little more anterior to that into the Vastus Lateralis if you are going intramuscular. I prefer sub-cutaneous.

Should I feel the tendinitis or pain at all during the movement?

Use an intensity (weight) that you can feel a little bit of that dysfunction and a little bit of pain (1-2/10). When you don't feel that pain/dysfunction anymore increase the weight until it's back to a 1-2/10.

As I said, usually it takes around 12 weeks. If you are feeling good in week 8 keep doing the exercises. After the 12 weeks try to incorporate those exercises, or variations of, once or twice a week.

In the meantime, Golfer's and Tennis Elbow are all about your grip. You can start to use straps to hold on to the bar and even use "tennis elbow forearm straps" to decrease the tension on your epicondyles (where those muscles connect to the elbow).

Hip replacements are not a big deal. Recovery is much faster and easier than you think. You'll be walking on day 1. After a few days you might not even need crutches/walker etc... In a couple of weeks you'll almost feel like you didn't even have surgery. It's nothing like a knee replacement.

Follow your rehab and listen to your PT. It'll be a breeze for you.

Hope this helps.

No worries.

Golfer's Elbow (medical epicondylitis). 95% of the time it's cause by your pronator teres. So stretch it by putting your forearm into supination (palm up). 3 sets of 60 seconds, feel the pull in the muscle. Use a massage gun or lacrosse ball on that muscle (Google location of pronator teres)

Do heavy slow resistance (HSR 3-0-3 tempo) of pronation/supination movement. Think of holding a bowling pin upside down with your arm extended out in front of you. Then rotating the top of the pin to both sides.

Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis) usually extensor carpi radials brevis. Stretch and myofascial release. Forearm flexion/extension using a DB with your fist off the edge of the table will work. Palm side down.

Do 3 sets of 8 reps using that tempo for both exercises. Stretch the muscles again after.

Hope that helps. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.

This is a better diagram for the OP's symptoms.



Dermatomes are good for identifying radiculopathy, but with all the evidence given by the OP I would go with Median Nerve Compression like what Tiger Rag said.

With what has been said, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be an option. With beginning to workout again, I would suspect compression of the Median N by the Pronator Teres. But without examining sensation of the palm I wouldn't be able to decide between the two.

OP, if you have some discomfort at the elbow (medial side where your "funny bone" is) and tightness in your forearm along with numbness/tingling of your palm close to your wrist, then I would say start stretching and using myofascial release on your Pronator Teres (youtube/google will help). Along with strengthening exercise for it.

Hope this helps

Of course, no worries.

I'm sorry dude. I was drinking bourbon with the boys last night and posted this. Not an excuse, but I was very condescending and rude. Not my usual M.O.

I'm not going to change or edit my previous post, I own up to my mistakes.

I'll try to not let that happen again.

When considering rest to treat tendinopathy it would have to be in the acute stage (tendonitis). Usually rest takes care of that and it resolves within a week or two.

You are saying October, and it is not the end of January. You are no longer in the acute phase of tendinopathy. You're Dr is wrong.

If it is still bothering you, after that time frame, then I would say you are in the chronic stage of tendinopathy (tendinosis).

I wrote this in another thread, but it is relevant to your question

There's a few things you can do. Most tendinopathies are non-inflammatory. Inflammation is the body's response to damage. It is the healing response. It's gotten a bad reputation because the body tends to go completely overboard.

You can go the non-inflammatory route. If it's acute, rest. If not, doing eccentrics and heavy slow resistance (HSR; tempo training 3-0-3) to rebuild those tendons. Use weights that you can feel your dysfunction with minimal pain (1-2/10).

Or you can go the inflammatory route (Rippetoe). Pretty much increase intensity and volume to induce/increase inflammation so the body can heal it.

Of course there's always medications/supplements like BPC or Cortisone injections. I find those have success rates at 50/50.

With all that being said, where do you feel the pain you are feeling and what motion, and in which manner of that motion, are you feeling that pain.

The more information you give us, the more we can help you.

I hope this helps.
