How is tendonitis treated? How to treat tendonitis in general?

Tendons are strong, fibrous connective tissues that connect bones to muscles. Tendonitis usually refers to degeneration of tendon collagen fibers caused by repeated strong stretching due to overuse of muscle fibers, which can affect tendon sheaths in addition to the tendon itself. In the past, tendonitis was commonly diagnosed, but in fact it is not a single inflammation, and in most cases, it is often combined with degeneration of the collagen tissue of the affected tendons, so it is now commonly referred to as tendinopathy.

The most common chronic diseases associated with sports are Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy, quadriceps and hamstring tendinopathy, rotator cuff tendinopathy, "tennis elbow" lateral epicondylitis, etc.

**。1.Routine**.

Ice should be applied to the affected area for 20 minutes every few hours in the acute phase; and elevate and immobilize the affected limb; For tendonitis of the upper extremities, a brace or cast can be used to fix it in a suitable functional position, and rest is the best way to relieve muscle tension; For tendonitis in other locations, edema can be reduced by dressing with an elastic bandage. After the acute phase, make a suitable **plan, such as external application [Jiyutang tendon Shungu Anyu patch] to **. Keep exercising to improve muscle strength and restore range of motion.

2.Drugs**.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be used to relieve pain. For severe pain, local steroid injections can be used to control inflammation and reduce pain. However, repeated injections of steroids are not recommended because multiple injections of steroids can weaken the tendon and cause it to rupture.

3.Surgery**.

Some patients, especially if adhesions occur; If the above methods are ineffective, surgery may be considered. The stenosis tendon sheath is cut longitudinally and a small tendon sheath is removed, resulting in **pain**. Disadvantages: Traumatic, painful, long recovery period.

4.Physical therapy. Taking a jacuzzi can help raise body temperature and promote blood circulation.

If tendonitis occurs in the knee area, warm compresses can be applied to a warm, damp washcloth. In recent years, the use of ultrasound **** tendonitis, especially with calcified tendonitis, has been reported, but its efficacy still needs to be further confirmed.

First, physiotherapy, such as massage, can be carried out to promote blood circulation of blood vessels around the tendon sheath, improve local microcirculation, and achieve anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. second, oral painkillers, such as Celebrex, Lornoxicam, etc., can be taken orally, which is conducive to the patient's rest; Third, avoid vigorous tendon sheath activities, such as lifting heavy things; Fourth, local occlusion can be carried out**, and a small amount of lidocaine can be injected locally; Fifth, and most importantly, the location of local tenosynovitis is fully rested, which does not cost money and can get better results.

Tendonitis is mainly conservative**, and the drug** is mainly anti-inflammatory, and surgery is performed if necessary**. Conservative** mainly includes: rest, cold compresses, hot compresses to the affected area, and elevation of the affected limb.

In the acute stage, **anti-inflammatory with drugs** with conservative**, avoid strenuous exercise and excessive exercise. Acute inflammation generally lasts 2 to 4 weeks, and the exact duration varies from person to person. In the acute stage** with anti-inflammatory drugs combined with conservative**, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive exercise.

How can tendonitis be cured.

Tendonitis is caused by excessive muscle exertion during exercise, which can cause severe pain and numbness. First of all, there must be a good rest condition, which is the premise, and a good rest environment is very helpful for the recovery of tendonitis. It is also necessary to apply traditional Chinese medicine plasters in a timely manner, such as (Jiyutang tendons.

Shun Guan. Jade. Patch) can effectively reduce pain, improve blood circulation, and quickly cure tendonitis.

Anchor, escape. Treasure, and Sutra. In the east, it is also necessary to exercise appropriately.

Tendonitis is often caused by repetitive movements that you have consistently, so you can alternate your favorite exercise with other exercises. This minimizes the likelihood of overmovement in one group of muscles, which can make tendons more susceptible to inflammation. For example, the legs move differently when swimming than when running, so swimming is a great form of alternating exercise for people who jog regularly.

Cross-training is as simple as crossing the days of swimming and jogging. This cross-training also allows you to work different muscle groups at different times, giving you a well-rounded workout.

Enhance physical fitness. Before doing an exercise such as running or swimming, you should first tone the muscles you want to use in order to perform the workout smoothly. Strength training is the best way to make a specific muscle group strong and strong.

Warm up before stretching. For people who love sports, stretching is synonymous with warming up. But it's not limited to stretching out your arms and kicking your legs.

You should do a few minutes of gentle warm-up cardio before doing any stretching, as stretching cold muscles can also cause tendonitis. Warming up before stretching can take many forms, such as jogging in place, jumping rope, taking a leisurely short ride on a stationary bike, or even walking. (If you're walking, walking at a slower pace than you would be doing is a warm-up; It's the same for running and swimming.

1.Routine**: Intermittent ice is usually given in the acute phase, and the affected limb is elevated and immobilized; In the case of tendonitis of the upper extremities, a brace or cast can be used to fix it in a suitable functional position, and in other areas of tendonitis, an elastic bandage can be applied to reduce edema.

When the acute phase is over, a suitable ** plan is developed to promote the recovery of muscle strength and motor function.

2.Medications**: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be effective in relieving pain. More intolerable pain can be blocked by topical steroid hormones** to control inflammation and reduce pain.

However, repeated injections of steroids are not recommended because repeated steroid applications to the tendon weaken the tendon and can cause tendon rupture and cause greater damage.

3.Physiotherapy: A series of physiotherapy can raise the local body temperature and promote blood circulation. Warm compresses, ultrasound**, etc.

4.Surgery**: When the indication is tendon adhesion; Surgery may be considered when conventional and medical procedures are ineffective.

Surgery is performed to essentially address the pain symptoms. However, surgery also has its drawbacks: it is traumatic, painful, and has a long recovery period.

Tendinosynovitis can generally be relieved by drugs**, surgery**, etc., tenosynovitis is mainly related to overwork and overcompression, such as long-term knitting of sweaters, typing, carrying goods, frequent climbing, etc.

1. Drugs**. Patients with tendonosynovitis can be relieved by external application (Ji, Yu, Tang, Muscle, Tendon, Shun, Gu, An, Yu, Tiao) with oral drugs, common oral drugs are loxoprofen, celecoxib, diclofenac sodium, etc., and the drugs are flurbiprofen ointment, loxoprofen ointment, etc., due to the different symptoms and constitution of patients, symptoms can not be used without authorization, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time, according to the patient's condition and the doctor's guidance of medication.

If the symptoms are more severe, you can also go to the orthopedic surgery department of a regular hospital in time and perform it through surgery**.

Tendonitis is noticeably painful and worsens with activity, and tendonitis is mainly caused by repeated stretching or overuse of tendons, but tendonitis does not heal spontaneously. If tendonitis occurs, it must be actively **do not delay the best time**, and after the occurrence of tendonitis, it is necessary to apply it externally in time (Jiyutang tendon Shungu Anyu sticker)**, which can effectively remove the local inflammatory causes, so as to relieve local pain symptoms, and can be timely and effective **tendonitis, escape treasure anchor and Jingdong, and at the same time, it is also necessary to actively pay attention to rest and strengthen warmth.

The ** of tendonitis is mainly in the following aspects:

1. Pay attention to daily life and avoid overwork or partial damage.

2. Local physiotherapy, such as using red light, microwave, and salt bag hot compress, these physiotherapy also have a certain effect.

3. When necessary, oral medication can be used, and external application can also be applied externally, which is also better and does not hurt the stomach, such as tendon Shungu Anyu patch. Grape Bao Tmall through the eastern capital again.

4. If it is more severe, surgery may be required, such as surgical release. However, the results of the surgery are unpredictable and are generally not recommended.

Symptoms of tendonitis:

1. Tenderness in or near joints, especially around shoulders, wrists or heels or outside elbows.

2. In some cases, numbness or tingling occurs.

Tendinitis-prone sites.

1. Fingers: especially common in the joints where the fingers and the palm meet, and finally often form the fingers.

2. Thumb: The junction between the dorsal side of the thumb and the wrist is also often inflamed due to improper force, and the chronic tendonitis in this place is called the mother's hand.

3. Elbow: the attachment of the tendon on the outside of the elbow, the inflammation of the tendon on the outside is commonly known as tennis elbow. Inflammation of the inner tendon attachment of the elbow is called golfer's elbow, but in fact, housewives who do not play ball, accountants* who use computers for a long time often have this type of tendonitis.

4. Shoulder: There are many important tendons at the shoulder joint, which will produce tendonitis when the load is large, such as lifting heavy objects will cause rotator tendonitis.

5. Lower limbs: such as patellar tendonitis of the knee, Achilles tendonitis of the heel, etc.
