Anyone knows how to prevent and cure someone with tendinitis?

Answer 1

Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon — any one of the thick fibrous cords that attach muscles to bone. The condition, which causes pain and tenderness just outside a joint, is most common around your shoulders, elbows and knees. But tendinitis can also occur in your hips, heels and wrists.

Some common names for tendinitis are tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, pitcher's shoulder, swimmer's shoulder and jumper's knee.

If tendinitis is severe and leads to the rupture of a tendon, you may need surgical repair. But many times, rest and medications to reduce the pain and inflammation of tendinitis may be the only treatments you need. You can also take preventive measures to reduce your chance of developing tendinitis or to keep tendinitis from affecting your normal range of motion in joints such as your shoulder.

Treatment

The goals of tendinitis treatment are to relieve your pain and reduce inflammation. Often, home treatment — which includes rest, ice and over-the-counter pain relievers — is all that you need.

Other treatments for tendinitis include:

1. Corticosteroid injections. Sometimes your doctor may inject a corticosteroid medication around a tendon to relieve tendinitis. Injections of cortisone reduce inflammation and can help ease pain. However, there are potential side effects. For example, repeated injections may weaken a tendon, increasing your risk of rupturing the tendon. Also, corticosteroid medications should never be directly injected into the tendon itself because this can contribute to tendon rupture.

2. Strengthening exercises and physical therapy. People with tendinitis and tendonosis may also benefit from a program of specific exercise designed to strengthen the force-absorbing capability of the muscle-tendon unit.

3. Surgery. Depending on the degree and type of tendon tear, you may benefit from a surgical procedure that can improve tendon health. Damaged tendons can be removed to promote the formation of more healthy tissue. In select individuals, surgeons can repair full-thickness tendon tears to reduce pain and restore function.
