What medications work best for tendonitis?

Due to individual differences, there is no absolute best, fastest and most effective medication, except for commonly used over-the-counter drugs, the most appropriate drug should be selected under the guidance of a doctor in full combination with individual circumstances.

The main purpose of medications** is anti-inflammatory, analgesic and symptomatic relief, such as oral NSAIDs, aspirin, indomethacin, etc., which can relieve pain but do not alter long-term outcomes.

When the pain is severe or the analgesic effect of the above drugs is not obvious, local injections of hormones**, such as local injections of triamcinolone, etc., and sometimes simultaneous injection of lidocaine, local occlusion** can control inflammation and reduce pain. Medications** It is recommended to use under the guidance of a doctor.

It should be noted that local injection of hormone** should not be repeated many times, not more than 3 times, because repeated local injection of hormone** will increase the incidence of local soft tissue weakening and tendon rupture.

When tendonitis appears, the first thing to do is to rest and avoid flexing and extending the tendon too much. Tendonitis is inflammation of the aseptic chronic strain of the tendon, which can cause pain and impaired movement.

Care should be taken to avoid excessive flexion and extension activities, avoid excessive weight-bearing, and give some physiotherapy, warm compresses, and some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to the symptoms**.

** Methods of tendonitis:

1. Routine**. Ice can be applied for 20 to 30 minutes every hour for 24 hours of acute injury and the affected area can be fixed in place to reduce edema caused by rapid blood flow. At the same time, intensify rest to relieve muscle tension.

When the symptoms disappear and the muscles and joints function return to normal, if you want to exercise, you should gradually increase the intensity of the exercise to allow the muscles to adapt.

2. Drugs**. For conditions with intense pain, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be used to relieve the pain or local steroid hormones to control inflammation and reduce pain. You can also use external application, such as Jiyutang tendon Shungu-An-Yu-paste is very good.

3. Physiotherapy massage. Warm compresses can be applied to the affected area after recovery to help promote blood circulation. For the new physiotherapy methods such as ultrasound ** and magnet massage proposed in recent years, their efficacy still needs to be further observed and confirmed, and must not be completely relied on.

4. Surgery**. Surgical intervention may be used in patients with unsatisfactory routine recovery, especially for patients with adhesions. However, relatively speaking, the trauma is large, the recovery period is long, and the later recovery is unpredictable, and most of them can only ensure normal exercise and cannot carry out strenuous activities.

Therefore, surgery is generally not recommended.

Symptoms of tendonitis:

1. Tenderness: Normal tendons are not tender, but when the tendon is inflamed, there will be obvious tenderness when the hand is pressed on or near the joint.

2. Tingling: This is generally more common in the shoulder, wrist or heel, when the tendon is inflamed, there will be obvious numbness or tingling, which is also related to tendon fiber lesions and affecting the dredging of meridians.

3. Joint stiffness: The tendon is the fibrous tissue that connects the muscles and bones, and when it becomes inflamed, the movement will be restricted, which will cause the feeling of joint stiffness.

4. Slight swelling of the joints: When the range of movement is too large during exercise, it will cause inflammation of the tendons, and the most obvious thing is that the joints will be slightly swollen and the pain of pressing is strong. And some tendonitis is painful for a long time, and if it is not taken in time**, joint swelling will also occur.

Routine**.

For urgent tendonitis**, doctors and physiotherapists recommend the Rice ICRE procedure, which is rest, cold compression, compression, and elevation. Aspirin and ibuprofen may also be used to help reduce inflammation and pain. Ultrasound and sauna** relax muscles and tendons, improve blood circulation and promote healing.

Occasionally, corticosteroids may also be used**.

Your physical therapist may also suggest an exercise plan to help you rest the tendons while maintaining the function and general strength of nearby muscle groups, and you can only work on the tendons slowly and gradually. Your training plan may include fun exercises, slowly increasing the number of times you use the injured area, and stopping immediately when there is pain. You can also do some easy stretching exercises several times a day.

Nutrition and diet.

Vitamin supplementation is beneficial for tendonitis healing, with daily supplementation of vitamin C 1,000 mg, carotene (vitamin A) 10,000 IU, zinc mg, vitamin E 400 mg and selenium 50 mcg.

Family**. With rice**. The main thing about rest is to remember not to use the injured joint, especially not to do the maneuvers that cause joint damage. If you don't have an ice pack on hand, you can use a frozen vegetable bag instead.

The bandage is best wrapped around the injured area with a sports bandage, but not too tightly to avoid causing pain. Elevation, which is to reduce blood pressure in the injured area, is to place the ankle on the bench or raise the elbow on the back of the chair.

Prevention includes preparing for exercise, calming, stretching, and changing the way you exercise.

Wishing you good health!

Tendonitis is commonly known as "pulse and fossa wind", which belongs to the category of "strain" in traditional Chinese medicine, and patients will feel different degrees of pain, numbness, stiffness, swelling and other symptoms in the joints. It is believed that the pain caused by "qi stagnation and blood stasis", "qi injury, shape injury and swelling", due to external force injury to the meridians, resulting in obstruction of the meridians, imbalance of qi and blood, and poor circulation.

How to recover from tendonitis.

One, the routine**. In the acute phase, ice should be applied to the affected area for 20 minutes every few hours, and the affected limb should be elevated and immobilized, and a brace and cast should be used to secure the upper extremity in a suitable functional position. Rest is the best way to relieve muscle tension, tendonitis in other locations can be bandaged with elastic bandages to reduce edema, and after the acute phase, make a suitable ** plan, such as external application [Jiyutang tendon Shungu Anyu patch] to recover, exercise can improve the strength of the muscles and restore the range of motion.

Second, drugs**. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to relieve pain, and severe pain can be treated with local steroid injections to control inflammation and reduce pain, however repeated steroid injections are not recommended because multiple steroid injections can weaken the tendon and cause tendon rupture.

3. Surgery**. Some patients, especially when adhesions, if the above methods are ineffective, surgery can be considered, vertical and longitudinal incision of a narrow tendon sheath to remove a small tendon sheath, resulting in **pain**, the disadvantage is that the trauma is large, the pain is great, and the recovery period is long.

It is necessary to allow the inflamed tendon to be fully relaxed and avoid recurrence of contraction. If activity continues, it can cause further friction of the tendon against the tendon sheath and the surrounding fibrous ring, which can lead to further aggravation of inflammation.

Ways to alleviate tendonitis.

1.It is to analyze the load points on the work or posture, try to improve the change, and even change the work content if necessary.

2.Wearing an elastic sheath, such as wrist brace or knee pads, can be helpful during and after exercise, even if it provides some support and warmth.

3.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 Shun Gu Anyu patch] to regulate.

Exercise increases muscle strength and restores range of motion.

4.After the acute phase of hot compresses, you can apply a warm and damp towel to the knee at the site where tendinitis has occurred, then cover it with a plastic bag, then apply a heat pad, and finally use an elastic bandage to hold everything in place. This is done for 26 hours.

However, you should be careful not to burn and do not set the temperature of the heat pad too high.

5.Taking a break is a great way to relieve muscle tension at work; If you don't have the right posture, it's easy to get tendonitis. Especially if you are typing or typing on a computer all day, it is easy to have problems with your wrists and arms, so it is important to take a break while working.

In the acute phase of tendinitis, ice should be applied to the affected area for 20 minutes every few hours; 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, develop a suitable plan to improve the strength of the muscles and restore the range of motion.

Hello, it is best to find a Chinese medicine practitioner to take a look, and prescribe natural Chinese medicine for internal and external application at the same time**.

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.

1. Turning the head is one of the nursing methods for tenosynovitis. Take a break between work, place your hands on the table, and rotate your head for 2 minutes. Patients with tenosynovitis can bend their necks forward and backward, point their heads on their shoulders, twist their necks, and look at the left shoulder and the right shoulder.

2. Patients with tenosynovitis should avoid arm drooping. When sleeping, keep your arms close to your body and your wrists not bent. If you let your hand hang over the edge of the bed, it will increase the pressure on your hand. This is a type of care for tenosynovitis.

3. Wash hands with warm water, patients with tenosynovitis need to develop the habit of washing hands with warm water after work, should not use cold water, move their hands in a timely manner, and massage themselves. If you have this disease, it is important to treat it as soon as possible to avoid prolonging chronic tenosynovitis. This is also the way tenosynovitis is cared for.

4. It is important to exercise regularly, exercise every day and relax all sore muscles, even if you do not feel the pain of tenosynovitis. The local exercises described earlier should be practiced at least 4 times a day.
