They're incredibly painful because they're highly innervated.

That region is highly innervated.

It's actually a transition zone that turns into bone.

It's hard to even see the delineations of tendon into bone.

There's the synthesis point, which is a continuation, highly innervated continuation.

You start to get tears and discrepancies in those fibers, and it's incredibly painful and naggy.

That was happening predominantly more in middle-aged people.

I would see frozen shoulder.

Guess who that happens to?

Middle-aged women.

I would see bilateral glute med, tendinopathy on the trochanter where the big bony out crop on your hips.

Women would say, I can't lie on either side.

Both of my hips are killing me.

And they weren't talking about their deep hip, you know, the actual joint.

And in some cases they were because hip pain is a part of this too.

But the actual trochanters where the glute medius inserts, terrible pain.

You can't get comfortable laying on either side.

bilateral shoulder pain, bilateral hip pain, bilateral elbow pain.

I would see women come in and they would say, oh, I can't garden anymore.

My elbows are killing me, both of them at the same time, mind you.
