Tendon Pain -When What You’ve Tried Doesn’t Work
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance this isn’t your first attempt at fixing your tendon pain. You’ve probably:
Rested it.
Iced it.
Stopped running.

Understanding Pain
“It Hurts When I Do This!” A new way to think about pain
You know the old joke:
A patient goes to the doctor and says, “Doc, it hurts when I do this.”

Really the self reflection is more about taking time to become more aware of how you feel right now.
