Why me??? WHY NOW!!!????

Agreed.
The pup is venerable and those wobbly legs could prove to be his last. He dreams of being skittish while he does statue impersonations. His other skill is to double as a rug.

He looks more akin to a shammy or buffer.........a bit too scraggly for a rug.

At least not a persian rug......

Does he eat on his own accord or do you handfeed him?

We waft him scents of food and wait for the brain to react.
About a third of the time he's handfed. He gets worried when he thinks the other dogs are near in case they want his food and then he rugs outs.

Does he offer any semblance of barks, growls or whimpers?

Does he do anything?

At rugs and statues, he's the best. I think he has it all worked out.

He does have one flaw: he snores. This is a bad thing for a rug to do. It ruins the illusion in a quiet room. He's working on the flaw but we hope he'll snore for a long time yet.

I have a solution in mind, WumpScut....

Introduce your pup to a pale english rose........that might perk him up quite proper!

Pale skin + warm fur = WinWin Situation........feel me on that, WumpScut?

-or- put him in the kitchen, let him get his bake on, tease him about the way his fur puffs out of his apron......

Every dog his day, Every dog bakes his own biscuit......

I hear the words. We'll add happiness to his blissful dreams with one visit to the dogshop.

Heating the area is only going to make it worse. When you feel pain, you need to be icing it down. Tendonitis is actually an inflammation of the tendon right? You don't want to heat that up as it will just draw fluid to the area and thus delay healing.

Ice.

Ice.

While watching tv, ice that area for 15 mins or so. I mean, you are already just laying there.

Next is massage. if you prod around the area with your thumb, you eventually find THE point where it hurts the worse. Oh, you will know. You will be touchng areas that hurt and suddenly you will press a point that is *GASP* the one. That is the area you want to massage. YOu want to get some cross fiber massage and friction in there to help break up microfibrin and potentially forming scar tissue. You just press down on that area and very deeply and steadly rock your thumb back and forth, back and forth. It should look like you are barely moving your thumb. Not a big movement at all. Just deep and steady. It only takes 30 seconds each time. You can do this on the toilet. Sitting at redlights. In the shower. Whereever. As many times as you think of it, do it. Any extra times you have, do 30 seconds for the surrounding area too. Most of the time the majorly painful area is going to be closer to the bone rather than in the middle.

All I got on it right now is Icy Hot and a bandage. Its starting to feel better. I can now move the arm. But now to go weightlift! I do know where the POINT is that you are talking about. And it does hurt when I touch it. So your saying to press on that point with my finger and rub it in circles? Should I press hard or soft? Hard hurts though...but hey! I'll do whatever to get rid of this shit.
