Thanks for including to this dialogue.
What I write right here is predicated by myself private experiences, is my very own views, and are to not be taken as medical recommendation. I encourage anybody who suspects a delicate tissue damage to speak to a well being skilled.
In answering your query, “is my tear recovering and what do I think was the most effective therapy?”
I might reply sure, I really feel my tendon damage has recovered, it has been now in all probability 12 months post-injury, I’ve no ache and full vary of movement and performance of each my left and proper leg, nevertheless I do really feel internally that the left quad isn’t the identical as earlier than and I do know it by no means can be and that’s one thing it’s important to come to peace with.
I approached my therapeutic journey with weight loss plan and train. Two issues you must do each single day with out considering, urge for food makes you eat and train makes you progress which your physique does with out considering very first thing while you get up within the morning and get away from bed, you’re shifting. I believe there are issues you’ll be able to proactively do to strengthen and heal your physique.
The human physique could be very advanced and interrelated and so is that this matter. I believe it is very important take an in depth take a look at the human anatomy of the affected space in your case the elbow and contemplate the entire arm motion and functioning as a unit.
I began by doing easy ground workouts to strengthen the thigh muscle tissue. To start with, I used to be scared and fearful and that’s a part of the driving drive to teach oneself.
Weight-reduction plan smart I begin the morning by consuming 2 eggs for breakfast, I eat eggs for the protein and I additionally drink 2-3 freshly squeezed oranges, that is for the vitamin C, you’ll be able to take vitamin C in dietary supplements however it’s a lot better for the physique to soak up it from pure sources. Vitamin C performs an important function in lots of biochemical reactions within the physique as you’ll find within the literature and is especially necessary for the immune system in combating off an infection and is required for synthesizing new collagen.
My query originates from the biochemistry of tendons, tendons are composed of collagen, a protein that may be obtained in a complement, nevertheless the connection between ingestion of collagen and synthesis of collagen isn’t but clear.
“As is evident from the steps of collagen synthesis, Vitamin C forms an important component of the process. Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy, a serious and painful disease in which the collagen that is synthesized is defective and it does not produce strong connective tissues. This leads to bleeding and peeling gums, loss of teeth, skin discoloration and non-healing wounds.”
Can I ask you while you point out you strive collagen dietary supplements, what’s the origin of the collagen within the dietary supplements? Grass fed bovine collagen powder, marine supply? How do you’re taking the collagen? What amount each day? And for the way lengthy did you strive it?
At Uni our lecturer all the time emphasised construction perform relationships, that means take a look at the construction of the tissue after which the perform.
“Collagen microscopically occurs in elongated fibrils. It is mostly found in fibrous tissues such as tendon, ligament and skin, and is also abundant in cornea, bone, blood vessels, cartilage, intervertebral disc and the digestive tract.”
As you’ll be able to inform from studying this definition of collagen is that it’s a predominant protein and considerable within the human physique.
“What’s the major construction of collagen?
The first construction of collagen is the Triple Helix. This kind of collagen is a protracted rope-like construction. That is created with three polypeptide chains which can be nearly braided collectively. Each third amino acid is a glycine, which inserts completely into the helix.
Collagen accommodates particular amino acids – Glycine, Proline, Hydroxyproline and Arginine. These amino acids have an everyday association in every of the three chains of those collagen subunits. The sequence usually follows the sample Gly-Professional-X or Gly-X-Hyp, the place X could also be any of varied different amino acid residues. Proline or hydroxyproline represent about 1/6 of the full sequence.”
Some folks speak about taking particular amino acid dietary supplements for instance proline. I’ve not learn all of the literature and I by no means will. There are fascinating questions that come to thoughts.

Are you able to maximize tendon therapeutic?
As mentioned above, there are some necessary elements that play a task in tendon therapeutic. Water content material, leucine-rich proteoglycans, ascorbate, and collagen deposition are all vital for correct therapeutic. So, logically it make’s sense that if one injures a tendon, they need to:
Eat loads of water Complement with Leucine (one of many BCAAs), Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), and Gelatin
1. A number of research have proven elevated collagen deposition and variety of crosslinks, in addition to improved performance of tendons with all 3 of those dietary supplements.
Bear remedy that may support in collagen deposition and orientation of the fibers
1. Together with train and instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization (reminiscent of Graston).
There are various articles and assets written on the subject and is unimaginable to speak about all, I discover the work by Dr Jill Cook dinner helpful, there could also be different good work, if you’re conscious of please share it right here.
I used to be additionally taking a magnesium complement by the model Bioceuticals, 1 scoop each day or each 2nd day, I did this to start with. I additionally began taking a broad spectrum probiotic by the model LifeSpace and I discovered this probiotic has consolidated my bowel actions and I really feel my intestinal well being is healthier. I additionally drink 1 to 2 coffees each day. Caffeine is understood to extend longevity amongst many issues it has been related to.
I just lately begin going to the fitness center and do weight bearing train to strengthen the quads. I really feel good and powerful.
Tendons haven’t any blood provide so every thing you learn will say that that is the rationale they heal a lot slower than a muscle tear, nevertheless joints have synovial fluid, fluid that acts like oil in an engine and bodily exercise encourages circulation of the fluid which in flip is believed to advertise the diffusion of oxygen and vitamins into the tendinous tissue and have a constructive impact.
I hope this helps. I’m writing a weblog on this matter. I encourage you to put in writing about your personal experiences too, in order that others in the same state of affairs could profit and it may be cathartic for your self. There’s worth in folks’s experiences that you just can’t discover from studying a textbook or analysis paper, it may give others hope, aid, assurance, concepts.
Thanks, Claudia
