Recent Update Note: Also  – if nothing else works, try this formulation available in India. Fibroset.  Somehing that will instantly reduce inflammation (and pain) has always been the first thing that I looked for. Recently, I discovered one such formulation (in India).

FibroSet – containing acetyl-l-carnitine – addresses persistent tendinitis. Here is a research study also highlighting it’s efficacy in persistent neuromuscular pain conditions – that do not respond to standard treatments.

Why does typing hurt? First, check your Vitamin D levels

Finger stiffness is one of the first symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency. If you take oral steroids, this deficiency can be amplified. Finger stiffness (like stuck joints, locked fingers…) are all precursors to pain. Now consider that you continue typing on a keyboard with this stiff finger condition. The end result will be painful joints.

Test your Vitamin D levels. Even though mine were close to  normal ( 30 is considered normal, I was at 26), I still took a good oral supplement – I started with 2k/day (see below). Within 2 weeks, the improvement was noticeable.  

Vitamin D Shots or Supplements – Firstly, if you are Vitamin D deficient, be sure to take these shots (or oral capsules). Secondly, cod liver oil gives you Vitamin D as well. And cod liver oil is one of the few things that instantly relieved the elbow pain that showed no signs of subsiding.

• • The type of Vitamin D supplement matters. You want quick and readily absorbable. Read Amazon reviews. The one I used was an Indian brand . After about 2 weeks of taking 2k / day, I noticed a drastic improvement in all joint pain. My stiff palm and fingers opened up.
  • The quantity – I took 2k/day. While 2k / day sounds like a lot – for actual repair purposes, that is what was prescribed for me.
