if you don't build tissue load capacity regularly it won't be there when you need it.

Most of the joint and tendon pain I see in the office is atraumatic. No fall, twist, and no activity anyone can point to. The shoulder that's been sore for three weeks or the knee that aches when going downstairs. The hip that complained after a walk no longer than any other.

The most common explanation people offer is that they slept wrong. That's not what happened.

What happened is quieter and slower. Muscles have lost strength while tendons have been losing capacity for months… well, they finally got asked to do something they no longer had the capacity for.

Sure, the pain feels sudden because the moment it started hurting seems sudden. But the process that got it there was a long time coming.

Nearly 30 years of this, and the pattern is consistent: atraumatic pain is almost always a capacity problem that finally became visible. The tissue didn't fail. The reserve ran out. Those are different problems with very different solutions, and understanding which one you have determines whether you rest and wait, or load and rebuild.

And very often… the answer will not be found on your X-ray or MRI. You’ll find many things on those scans, but you won’t find the answer to why thing started hurting and what needs to be done about them.

Most of the time, the proper treatment is… load your tissues to improve capacity. Regardless of most of the MRI findings.

Modifications for Improved Metabolic Health
Improving metabolic health involves comprehensive lifestyle and occasional medication changes:

Diet: A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods (like omega-3 fatty acids, fresh fruits, and vegetables) and low in processed foods can help regulate blood sugar and lipid levels.

Exercise: Regular physical activity, including both aerobic and resistance training, can improve insulin sensitivity, enhance lipid metabolism, and maintain musculoskeletal health.

Sleep and Stress: Adequate sleep and effective stress management are crucial for healing and recovery, as they directly impact metabolic health.

Medications. This will be a significant area of study for the next decade. The GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic, are helping people with osteoarthritis pain, even before the weight loss takes effect. These medications are also being studied as disease-modifying agents in osteoarthritis. They are already being tested, and if successful, will be the first disease-modifying medications ever for the management of osteoarthritis.

These lifestyle modifications not only improve metabolic parameters but also directly contribute to the strength, flexibility, and overall health of the musculoskeletal system.

Strong muscles stabilize joints. Aerobic fitness improves metabolic health and tissue perfusion. Gradual loading restores tolerance. But people often don't take PT seriously prior to surgery. They often take PT very seriously afterwards. Therefore, PT is probably the reason you feel better, despite the surgery. The irony is that the treatment many people ultimately need is the same thing that might have prevented the problem in the first place. Staying strong. Staying active. Maintaining the reserve that protects our joints/tendons/muscles/abilities as we age. fix and make it a little emotional
