To my knowledge inflammation comes from lack of water, bad food (red meat) and bad posture.

If you drink sufficiently, have a clean diet and had some chiropractic consultations then you need to explore radical options.

Look at the Wim Hoff method, it's a crazy Dutch man that swims near icebergs and run naked in the snow. The method consist of breathing exercises, yoga postures and cold showers. Apparently it cures inflammation in the body (among other things).

I plan to give it a go this winter. If you can't afford it ($200) the backup torrent is not that hard to find ;-)

I've been researching this for a bit and seems like chronic tendon injuries show no sign of inflammation.

All chronic tendon injuries? Or yours? I guess what I'm asking is, have you had blood tests done to check your omega-3, omega-6, and c-reactive protein levels?

I've had blood tests done but i am not sure if these were tested. I am reasearching these now and will get this done if not already. Thanks for the pointer.
