Ok i am a level ten gymnast(the highest level besides elite) and i am 13 yrs old and i feel i might have it.I read the causes online and i have like practically all of them.I have been ignoring the pain for a whilst now thinking it was nothing huge.But this link took me to a sight about tendonitis and i freaked.I also have to stretch it out everyday for gym and an additional trigger was having to stretch it out alot.And 1 of the other trigger was sudden increase in training and this was the 1 that really scared me trigger it was like it was calling me out at this point.You see i went to this 1 gym and i worked out about 3 hours a day.I just recently moved up to five hours.
(and for any gymnast out there who recognize....It hurts the most when i get to floor and vault.)
PLEASE tell me some advice.
And you must know that my parents are fairly difficult to budge to get to take me to the doc so any advice on how to talk them into it would be fantastic
thanx!!!!
ps it doesnt hurt until i begin to train then it is quite very painful.Im significant like tender to the touch pain!

First off, tell your coach. At your level I would assume that he/she is really knowledgeable and will be able to assist you treat it and adjust your training so you get the most out of it, even though still preventing further injury. It that doesn't work, you will require to see a physical therapist.
It could be tendonitis or bursitis. Simple care would be to ice for 15 minutes each and every hour, active rest (take a break for training and slowly creating back up to it again), stretching and then strengthening right after you have no pain. .... but at your level you can't quit training. You truly want to see a sports physical therapist that normally works with greater level athletes. They will be able to treat you, make tiny adjustment to your training to prevent further injury, figure out what is going wrong and how to prevent it.
...that is the very best answer I have for you. Hope it helps.
