I have a condition wherein i injure my joints (tendons)and muscles very easily in spite of being in good shape?
Francis, first off thank you for the compliment. I am not sure that your last comment was directed at me or not. I for one would never suggest that you ever mask the pain with the use of pain killers. Pain is the body's way of warning you that something is wrong. Since you don't state what tendons this condition is related to and I don't remember if it was on an earlier post I am going to say that it is possible that your form is not correct when lifting or doing some exercise movement. Next, it is also possible that you have never recovered from the first injury or injuries that you received. Instead of tendinitis you now could have tendinosis. This is a condition where the tendons are weak and chronically in the state of irritation. The treatment program for this is different than that of tendinitis. What you are going to have to do is reduce the amount of weight that you are using as a resistance factor and slow the motion down. By doing these two things you will be able to improve your form and at the same time give the muscles and thereby the tendons a good workout that will not stress them too much. The use of ice has been shown to decrease the rate of healing so that should be avoided. Give me more specifics and I will see if I can help you.
