Since there has been no improvement after 20 days of using a knee support and Tendocare, I highly recommend consulting an orthopedic specialist for a physical evaluation. A bike accident can sometimes cause deeper tissue injuries, such as ligament or cartilage damage, which may require an imaging test like an MRI to properly diagnose. For now, please try to rest your knee, avoid strenuous activities, and apply ice if you notice any swelling. Getting a professional assessment will help target the exact cause of your pain and get you on the right path to recovery.

Yes, prescription topical steroid creams, such as betamethasone, are often highly effective first-line treatments for a tight foreskin when combined with gentle stretching. Because these creams are applied locally, very little medication enters your bloodstream. Consequently, they are safe to use alongside your back spasm medications and supplements, including Vitamin D3, B12, calcium, Tendocare, and iron. Please consult a doctor or urologist who can examine you, prescribe the correct strength cream, and guide you safely on how to use it.

For rebuilding tendons, Type 1 collagen is most helpful, as it is the primary building block of tendons, while Type 2 collagen is better suited for cartilage. Tendocare tablets, which contain collagen peptides and chondroitin, can indeed be beneficial for your joint and tendon healing. Additionally, vitamin C is excellent for aiding collagen synthesis, and vitamin D supports overall tissue recovery. Please discuss these supplements with your orthopedic surgeon to ensure they align perfectly with your specific post-operative recovery plan.

Yes, expecting a 6 to 8-month recovery time is very realistic. Early knee cartilage wear takes time to stabilize because cartilage has a limited blood supply and heals slowly. Your prescribed medications, including Dycerin (diacerein) to reduce inflammation, alongside Tendocare and Flexipep G to support cartilage health, work gradually. These supplements help protect and nourish the joint, but they require consistent use over several months to show their full benefits. Alongside these, gentle knee-strengthening exercises will greatly support your recovery. Please stay patient and consistent; your joints are on the right path to feeling much better!

The manufacturer has not disclosed the exact source of its ingredients. Collagen peptides and chondroitin sulfate are typically derived from animal sources, which means the product may not be vegetarian. However, without official confirmation from the company, the precise origin of these components cannot be confirmed.

While taking Tendocare, tendon inflammation typically takes about 4 to 12 weeks to heal, depending on its severity and rest. Since Tendocare is a supplement designed to support tissue recovery, combining it with physical therapy is key to your recovery. Yes, there is a chance the pain could return if the shoulder is overstressed before it fully heals, or if proper strengthening is neglected. Rest assured, with gentle stretching, proper rest, and avoiding heavy lifting, your shoulder can recover beautifully.
