I've had to give in temporarily to the injury couch. An old injury has flared up bigtime (torn shoulder tendon) and my lovely NHS physio said (despite my pleading puppy dog eyes) that it would be best not to do anything that jolts the shoulder (and that includes running, despite my following Laura's instructions to hold shoulders down and back). I'm seeing her again in a week. Ice, ibuprofen and painkillers now on the menu. (You mean I have to use the ice on my shoulder, not in a glass? There's a novelty).
Meanwhile, lovely people, if anyone has a magic wand for tendon repair please can I borrow it?! Ideas on a postcard.. or just click below as usual. Heeeeeelp!

Many thanks for this, Rignold. Followed the link in your recent recommendation for this on another post and it looked brilliant, but I didn't realise it would be effective for my torn tendon. I'll definitely take another look at all of these and buy the book.
Sorry no magic wand. Tendons are so tricky. Rest, Ice, Heat, Stretch, but not too much. I still have post tib tendonitis after 3 months but am now able to run 10K again in a gingerly fashion
The fact that you are now back in action gives me hope. Hey - maybe I'll be able to do 10K in 3 months time! (Which would be brilliant, cos my PB is only 6K!!!)
