Hiten was launched on January 24, 1990 from the Kagoshima Space Center (KSC) of ISAS, aiming mainly at the lunar swing-by experiment.
That takes tension off the tendon, reduces pain levels, and allows you to heal faster. Imagine if you could do that in just a few minutes every day while you're recovering. Imagine that you could have a full recovery in 6-8 weeks, instead of a less-than-full recovery in 8-12 months.
If the tendon is only overstretched, it should heal within a day or two with a treatment of ice packs, elevation, and rest -- similar to the healing routine for ankle sprains. After the first 24 hours, alternate ice packs with heat to help reduce the inflammation that often accompanies tendinitis.
