What's the best remedy for Tendonitis?

Question

My job consists of constantly walking and my Tendonitis is killing me causing numerous aches and pains.

Answer 1

Treatment for tendonitis:

Specific treatment for tendonitis will be determined by your physician based on:

1. your age, overall health, and medical history
2. extent of the condition
3. your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, and therapies
4. expectation for the course of the disease
5. specific organs that are affected
6. your opinion or preference

Treatment may include:

1. activity modification
2. splinting or immobilization
3. steroid injections
4. anti-inflammatory medications
5. surgery

Answer 2

The usual treatment for tendonitis is a strong anti-inflamatory like Alleve (if you just want pain relief without a cure). However, certain types of tendonitis can be healed by injecting small amount of anesthesia and cortisone near the tendon. Then seriously rest the feet to let the medication work. Maybe on your next vacation you can see a Rheumatologist (or at least call and ask staff) if such a treatment is available for your type of tendonitis, or whether surgery would effect a permanent cure.

Answer 3

The first step in treating tendonitis is to stop the activity that caused the injury. If you catch the injury early, at stage 1, a reduction in the activity may be sufficient. If the injury is in grade 2, 3 or 4, you should completely stop the activity.

Cold therapy is the second step of treatment. If you are continuing the activity, be sure to ice the area immediately after exercise. You should apply ice to the area 4 to 5 times a day for 10 to 15 minutes. One good alternative to ice is to use a bag of frozen peas or corn. The bag of vegetables can be refrozen and used over and over again. The cold treatment will decrease inflammation and pain.

After the inflammation and pain has been eliminated you should begin rehabilitation. Gently stretch the affected area 4 to 5 times a day. Keep this up until you have a full pain free range of motion restored.

Once you have restored your full range of motion, you should begin strength training to strengthen the muscles and connective tissue. Use light resistance at first. Increase the resistance if no pain is felt. If you feel pain in the affected area, reduce the resistance.

After you have regained full strength you should start the activity at an easy pace. Build back up to your prior level slowly. If you feel pain at any point, you may be trying to progress too quickly. Back off a bit. A little patience here will pay off in the long run.

PREVENTION
A major contributing factor to the development of tendonitis is lack of flexibility, strength, and muscle imbalance. Be sure to stretch all of your major muscle groups before your activity but after a complete warm up. Pay close attention to the muscles and tendons that you have had prior trouble with.

Perform strength training several times a week. Keeping the muscles strong will prevent future problems. Be sure to keep your muscles in balance. If you work the left side, you should work the right side. If you work the front, you should work the back. This will prevent muscle imbalances from pulling joints and tendons out of their neutral and natural positions.

If you feel pain after your activity, apply cold therapy immediately.

If you apply the above preventative measure you should avoid most future problems. If you do become injured, early recognition and treatment is crucial.

Answer 4

If your pain is nutrition related, I would recommend a supplement marketed thru MLM.

I had numbness and pain 4.5 years ago. I went to the doctor for 6 months for therapy and medication, but did not get results. A friend of mine introduced me to the supplement. Numbness and pain went away in 30 days.

Write me at [e-mail] about it.

Answer 6

Where is your tendinitis? Try altering the activity you think is causing/aggravating your symptoms.

Get a deep-tissue massage preferbly with someone who knows either myofascial release or structural integration.
