I had it in both tendons. I went on crutches and did physio for about 2 and a half years. Most of the pain went away....but if I run a lot or walk too much sometimes they just ache.....
If you haven't tried physio therapy then give it a try...also when they hurt a lot try icing them (wrap ice pack in a cloth first) for 15 min on, 15 min off might help ease the pain too. : )

Does deep massage help prevent cellulite?

Question by Cathleen: Does deep massage help prevent cellulite?
I'm 13, my mom massages he legs every night so she doesn't get cellulite. She says I should do it too while I'm young so I don't get it. Does it even work? She does it because there is a woman in her gym who is in ok but not amazing shape and deep massages every night, and she has next to no cellulite.

Your mom is wrong and wasting her time with massages. If massaging really did work, don't you think every female on the planet would know about it???

Here's the sad truth about cellulite. Cellulite is not fat, it's a genetic-based condition involving an uneven distribution of adipose and collagen tissues and once you have it, you will probably have it for life. However, because cellulite involves fat, you may be able to reduce the prominence of it by burning fat. Unfortunately, cellulite seems to present in those areas where fat tends to leave last...buttocks and thighs. So, reducing the cellulite effect will, for most people, require burning excess fat to a very low body fat percent....something which usually means a serious lifestyle change and commitment to proper eating habits for life with no guarantees.

Exercise won't help beyond burning a few more calories so plan your workouts around fitness goals such as excellence in a sport or occupation, strength, endurance, flexibility, systemic fitness, general health and well being, body sculpting, body composition, etc. Don't exercise with the hope it will help make cellulite disappear because it won't.

Here's an excerpt from an article from the US National Institute of Health, the people your doctor listens to.

"A great deal of money is spent by people who want to rid themselves of cellulite, but no amount of weight loss, exercise, massages, wraps, creams, supplements, or surgery has proven to effectively eliminate it once you have it. Liposuction, for instance, is not recommended for cellulite, and may even make it look worse."
