Dear MendMeShop,

I have bicep tendonitis and a partially torn rotator cuff...which was the reason I bought the machine. It was the only thing which gave me relief. As of April, I was seriously considering surgery and the Dr. gave me 3 months to think about it. I used ultrasound frequently and when I returned to him in July, he was shocked at the improvement...he said surgery was not recommended at that time! I didn't need it too much over the summer but used it on my other problems...arthritis in my knees and feet... also, spurs and plantar fasciitis in my flat feet. I kept meaning to contact you but it has been a trying year with my mother, mother in law and 15 year old dog passing...and me not addressing my pain. Now with winter in full force again, I am in constant pain...my feet /ankle being the biggest problem. When my shoulder pain crops up, I immediately use ultrasound and it seems to prevent worsening. My husband has used it a few times as well, as he developed a slight shoulder problem. I LOVE my ultrasound! Thank you so much for your help and for the wonderful machine! I have told numerous people about it but they tend not to believe that it could work. Before I ordered it, I was in constant pain...I figured it was worth a shot. I am so glad I did. I hope I can get some relief for my current pain after getting some more gel.

What Causes a Groin Pull?

Groin injuries can occur in any sport.

Groin pulls are among the most common groin injuries. These often result from a lot of stress placed on the groin muscles and tendons during active sports (hockey, basketball, soccer, football, rugby, tennis) or track & field activities (running, hurdles, long jump) that involve a lot of jumping, kicking, and changing direction at various speeds while running. Individual activities (skiing, skating, karate, weight lifting, gymnastics, ballet dancing and horse-back riding) can also put a lot of continuous pressure on the groin, especially if they involve a sudden fall or direct hit. During vigorous activities we often load our hip joint by up to eight times our body weight. However, even everyday activities that involve twisting or lifting heavy objects while bending or running on a slippery or unstable surface (like grass) can cause a groin pull.

overstretching the muscles can injure you groin muscles.

Adduction of the hip against forced abduction also causes a lot of injuries (when you are trying to bring your leg in towards your body, but something presses your leg away from your body), such as kicking against resistance or jumping.

Overstretching, overloading and overuse of your groin muscles occurs frequently especially when training competitively for the above activities, and/or swimming breaststroke (whip kick) on a regular basis. Your chances for injury are increased when you have not warmed-up and stretched properly before your activity, as your muscles arenŐt ready for the stress. If you are exercising or moving about in cold weather or are tired, you are putting yourself more at even more risk for an groin pull.

Success Stories

Weakness in your hip flexors, hip adductors and other groin muscles or strength differences in these muscles and/or your abdominal and lower back muscles can cause a force imbalance and result in a groin pull. If your muscles are tight or inflexible, this will make your situation worse.

You feet many also be adding injury to your goin.

Other biomechanical abnormalities (alignment issues, leg length discrepancies, over pronation or supination which affect the way you walk, or incorrect sport-specific motions) can put a lot of stress on the groin and result in groin pull.

Lack of exercise and changes in the intensity of your activity without proper preparation, age-related weaknesses and/or degeneration, previous groin injuries, and obesity will also influence your risk of experiencing groin pull.

Dear MendMeShop,

I have been suffering with bursitis of the knee for about a year and a half. I am a photographer and I am on my knees a lot. Every time after a session where I had to kneel, I would be in pain. I shot a graduation ceremony last month and by the end of the day I was in so much pain that I could not walk. I knew it was time to do something! I did some research and realized that I did not want to do the cortisone injections. I was looking for something natural that I could do at home. The MendMeShop ultrasound was an answer to my prayer! The first week I was still in a lot of pain but by the second week walking was much easier. By the end of the third week I could almost walk normally again and even shot an engagement couples photos at the beach with getting up and down on my knee! I thank God that I found MendMeShop. The gel is really wonderful and smells so good. The iced knee pack is also a very good investment.
