I don't know if the gear fixed me but I had elbow and knee issues. Too much Hockey... I still play into my 30s. Nevertheless, I have had less frequent issues, knock on wood, since I have been using a after drink, called After Shock. I would say around week two in I noticed the frequency of my elbow issue went down.

AfterShock Recovery - Designed to target every aspect of muscle growth, strength, speed, recovery, and over-all enhanced performance, AFTERSHOCK specifically keeps the needs of elite athletes in mind, who demand an intense nutritional profile.

There is a post out there that I will try to find that talks about the gear that helps tendons too. I think deez put it on.. I'll check around and post later if someone doesn't beat me to it.
