Transthyretin amyloidosis is a slowly progressive condition characterized by the buildup of abnormal deposits of a protein called amyloid (amyloidosis) in the body's organs and tissues.
If you play tennis, you may be familiar with the different racket customizing choices you have -- common choices include string type, gauge and tension. Not so common is an inexpensive device called a shock absorber or vibration dampener. These devices have no impact on your performance, but some players can't play without one. It's a personal choice, and if you do use a dampener, its placement must comply with the rules of the International Tennis Federation.
From bands to a single bar to double bars, these braces compress the extensor muscle in the arm and help relieve tennis elbow pain by reducing shock transmission to the elbow. Tennis elbow is really an inflammation of muscles of the forearm and the tendon that connects the muscles to the bones in the elbow. These muscles are used to bend the wrist backward and to turn the palm face up.
