[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you. I guess this is just the way it is now. I do take magnesium but I never stretch.  I seem to be very prone to tendinitis now all over and always on the verge of an injury so exercise isn’t fun anymore. It’s frustrating. I previously enjoyed a lot of endurance sports and lifting.  Thank you. [/quote]

I suspect a big part of your problem is that you never stretch.  I highly recommend that you make time to stretch after EVERY workout, and everyday if possible.   I have recurring knee pain that always flares up if I don’t make time to stretch after every workout.  I have a Peloton and I make myself do the 5 minute post ride stretches after every ride.  They are basically a 5 minute series of the following stretches, which you hold for 30 seconds each:  hamstring stretch, standing quad stretch, calf stretch, and figure 4 stretch.  A few days a week I do these stretches on my own and hold each for a full minute.  It makes a HUGE difference in how my body feels.

Also like other’s have said, I tried the keto diet for a month and I was amazed at how my body aches and pains disappeared.  The diet wasn’t sustainable in the long term for me, so now I try to focus on just cutting back on sugar and refined carbs.
