[pct-l] Care for tendonitis

[JPL]

Little help here.  Just at first glance it seems that if you put 
constriction (pressure) on the lower leg, that that would decrease blood 
flow.  I'm sure I'm missing something but what?

And to follow up on what Yoshihiro touched on with compression...
Order yourself some knee high compression socks from Amazon and have them 
sent to you up the trail if need be. Or better yet, have someone at home 
order them for you. Regardless of how you get them, get some ASAP for your 
feet and make them part of your every night "Jammie" system.  I have a pair 
made by Sigvaris that are 80% merino wool and wearing them to bed after a 
long hike cuts my recovery time in half by getting an in increased amount of 
oxygenated blood to the muscle tissue. This will also be what helps your 
tendinitis.
