[RC] Parelli Carrot Stick Causes Tendonitis?/use of MSM - sherman
Having suffered for a long painful year of tendonitis, I’d
say it’s more likely that the use of the carrot stick was “the
straw that broke the camels back” and not necessarily from overuse of the
carrot stick. I suffered for quite
a while from tendonitis, from throwing flakes of hay over the fence into the
feeders. It was only about 6 flakes a day, didn’t seem like much to me, but
it was too much for my tendons.
My year of pain from the tendonitis ended within 2 or 3
weeks of starting MSM supplements, thanks to the advice of Mary Anne. I still
cannot carry a flake of hay with my arm, have to put it in a bucket and carry
it to wherever it’s needed.
So that takes me to asking another endurance horse related
question. Does everyone give their horses MSM? If you do, is it on a regular
basis or only before/after long hard rides? I don’t take it regularly anymore,
just when I overuse my arms, and then just for a few days providing I can quit
doing whatever aggravated the tendons.
