Skeptical at first but now a true beliver
I'm 40 and I have suffered from severely swollen knees for over 10 years. I have seen an orthopedic specialist/sports medicine doctor, had X-rays on both my knees and have been told "surgery is not the answer" but anti-inflammatory medication is. So I have been taking the recommended 1200mg of Ibuprofen nearly every day for the 10 years they have been bothering me. And when I tried to decrease the amount, they swell up like balloons and I can hardly walk without moving in a crouch to ease the pain.
Understanding that my kidneys would one day rebel on the high dosage medications I did the research and the Tendlite device quickly became the most recommended "in-home" treatment on the market.
I made my purchase in March of 2013 and used it once every day for a total of 10 minutes each session on both knees. Nothing happened the first 3-4 days and I was sure I was going to send it back. But I wanted to follow the Tendlite directions and keep using it for a week.
I swear that my knees, especially my most swollen right knee absolutely started to decrease in not only swelling but in pain. After 10 days I started decreasing my 1200mg to 600mg an act that prior to Tendlite would have resulted in immediate swelling the next day. The swelling continued to decrease. After 2 full months of use, my knees are now back to the condition and size from when I was in my 20's. I'm down to 300mg now and planning on going medication-free this month. I have no reason to believe it was anything other than the Tendlite device. I'm once again riding a bike and walking in excess of 2 miles in a day, something that for the last 2-3 years I could never accomplish unless I was prepared to live in misery for at least a week after the event. Give it a try and make sure to never skip a session and give it a full week to show it's value.
