How is Achilles tendonitis treated? Is Achilles tendonitis serious?

The main cause of Achilles tendonitis is aging or recurrent injuries, and most Achilles tendon pain can be classified as tendon lesions. In addition to this, the tendon becomes weak and loses its structure. Aging is an important factor, as is repeated microtrauma that has not been fully recovered.

Local lesions of the tendon will eventually progress to partial or complete rupture. Patients with pain can use the escape of bail [Jiyutang, Achilles tendon Shun Gu Anyu Patch] to recuperate, do not overwork, take proper rest, and eat more high-protein and nutritious food.

Depending on the symptoms of Achilles tendonitis, Achilles tendon injuries are mainly caused by the following:

1. Tendon insertitis: It is the inflammation of the part of the Achilles tendon that stops at the calcaneus, and patients with this disease can directly touch the tenderness of the insertion site, and it is often accompanied by calcification or a bone spur above the insertion point. This condition is often complicated by Achilles tendon bursitis and enlargement of the calcaneus, also known as Hagderon's deformity.

Hadron's deformity is often seen in women who wear high heels, or in hockey players, where their heels are rubbed.

2. Posterior heel bursitis: Posterior heel bursitis is mostly caused by exercise irritation of the Achilles tendon bursa, and this disease mostly occurs before the Achilles tendon, between the calcaneus and the Achilles tendon. The bursa becomes inflamed, thickens and pushes against the Achilles tendon.

The pain usually comes from a compression of the Achilles tendon itself or a compression of the front of the tendon. Bilateral tendon involvement is common in 10% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and in athletes it is often unilateral and without systemic disease.

3. Subcutaneous Achilles tendon bursitis: This injury comes from external pressure, often due to wearing ill-fitting shoes, resulting in friction between the tendon and its surrounding tendon sheath. In addition, when there is too much internal or external rotation when walking, biomechanical factors play a big role.

The swaying of the foot from side to side during running can cause the Achilles tendon to be pinched, leading to the occurrence of subcutaneous Achilles tendon bursitis.

Achilles tendonitis is inflammation of the bursa below where the Achilles tendon attaches to the calcaneus. Any increase in Achilles tendon strain can be a cause. The main manifestation is pain and swelling of the Achilles tendon.

Common symptoms include pain in the retrocalcaneal space, swelling, fever, difficulty walking, and difficulty putting on shoes. Initially, there is soreness, swelling or slight pain in the lower part of the back of the ankle joint, but the pain will become more and more pronounced due to the rapid progression of the disease.

Symptomatic manifestations of Achilles tendonitis.

1. Pain, soreness, tenderness, and stiffness above and inside the heel that worsens after activity.

2. It can occur in any area of the Achilles tendon, and the pain usually occurs in the early morning or during the rest period after strenuous exercise.

3. There will be strong pain or tenderness when the two sections of the tendon are squeezed.

4. When the lesion worsens, the tendon will enlarge and nodules will appear in the lesion area.

5. Pain in the position of the Achilles tendon, in severe cases, will affect the movement function of the foot.

6. There is redness and swelling on the surface of the Achilles tendon, and some patients also have tears.

The best way to treat Achilles tendonitis.

1. Use support pads: Support pads can elevate the ankle to reduce stretch on the Achilles tendon. Doctors may also have a splint used during sleep at night to keep the Achilles tendon immobilized.

2. Wear walking boots or use crutches: If the condition is severe, your doctor may recommend wearing walking boots or using crutches to help your Achilles tendon heal.

3. External application of traditional Chinese medicine: , such as [Achilles tendon visit post] can be relieved and recovered.

4. Occlusion**: Occlusive needle is to inject drugs into the painful part to achieve the purpose of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and have the effect of relieving local muscle tension.

5. Surgery**: If the above ** does not work, surgery may be needed to remove the inflammatory tissue around the Achilles tendon. However, this is often the last resort.

Precautions for Achilles tendonitis.

1. Before exercising, do a good warm-up stretching exercise. If the muscles and bones are moving, and the calf muscles are too tight or too tired, the impact of the exercise will be transmitted to the Achilles tendon, which may cause Achilles tendonitis.

2. Choose the right shoes, if the shoes are too big, people tend to bend their toes to pick the soles, this action will overuse the plantar aponeurosis and related tissues, resulting in local tendon strain and Achilles tendonitis.

3. Increasing the running distance too fast and training too much will bring greater impact to the Achilles tendon. When doing physical exercise, be sure to increase the amount gradually.

4. Walking and running venues that are too hard, running shoes that are too hard, etc., may cause Achilles tendon inflammation. Add a layer of padding inside the heel to help relieve tension in the Achilles tendon.

Achilles tendonitis, which is common in amateur sports enthusiasts, is most likely to occur when the Achilles tendon is not fully rested and then re-exercised under the premise of lack of warm-up, or after repeated strain, the Achilles tendon is not fully rested and then exercised. For people who climb mountains regularly, if they wear shoes inappropriately, such as too large shoes, unstable forefeet and too stiff uppers, etc., it will induce Achilles tendonitis.

Causes of Achilles tendonitis.

1. The Achilles tendon is suddenly impacted, squeezed, and blunt by external force, resulting in congestion and edema of the Achilles tendon itself and surrounding tissues.

2. The human body is acutely contracted violently due to the excessive force of the triceps muscle of the calf during bouncing and sprinting, resulting in tearing and injury of the Achilles tendon, resulting in congestion and edema around the Achilles tendon;

3. Long-term friction between the Achilles tendon and the surrounding tissues can also cause chronic local inflammatory changes.

4. When running, the gastrocnemius muscle of the foot contracts to raise the heel and touch the ground with the front half of the foot. The Achilles tendon will lead to Achilles tendonitis due to repeated violent impacts, especially when athletes have to "extreme" every day, which causes an inflammatory response in the long run.

5. The heel is too soft, the heel is unstable in the shoe, and the heel moves excessively, which will lead to the instability of the Achilles tendon insertion point and excessive burden; The sole is too stiff and the first metatarsophalangeal joint between the toes and the ball of the foot cannot be flexed; The shoe is too big, and when you kick and jump, you will bend your toes and pick at the sole of the shoe hard. All of this can increase the traction on the Achilles tendon.

6. Sometimes athletes do not move correctly during training, such as excessive inversion or external rotation of the toes when hitting the ball on the net, and unstable ankle joint landing when jumping to the ground, and it is easy to suffer from Achilles tendonitis.

Daily care for Achilles tendonitis.

1. Warm up before exercising, gradually stop exercising, and do appropriate relaxation activities after exercising.

2. External use [Achilles tendon Fangshi = post] conditioning, reasonable exercise, is of great help to the recovery of Achilles tendonitis.

3. Wear appropriate shoes when exercising. Do not wear shoes for more than the recommended lifespan, which depends on the frequency of exercise, the ground on which you are exercising, and the conditions of your movement.

4. Regularly stretch and strengthen calf muscle training, and gradually increase mountaineering and stair climbing items in daily exercise. If needed, gradually increase the speed and distance.

5. As long as the pain exists, stop running immediately and use cycling as an alternative to running.

Achilles tendon inflammation is primarily aseptic inflammation caused by local acute and chronic injury to the Achilles tendon.

This is usually conservative**, warm up before a workout and should be phased out. After exercising, do appropriate relaxation activities, pay attention to rest, avoid weight-bearing, exercise reasonably, wear appropriate shoes when exercising, choose the appropriate exercise frequency, exercise venue and exercise conditions, and often stretch or strengthen calf muscle training. In daily exercise, climbing mountains and stairs gradually increases, and if necessary, the speed and distance can be gradually increased.

Blood-activating analgesics can also be used in painful areas of the Achilles tendon, most patients can relieve the pain within a few weeks, only a few patients receive conservative**, the pain is not reduced, surgery is recommended**, excision of inflammatory tissue around the Achilles tendon.

First, you can't walk for a long time.

Second, you can't wear shoes that are too tight, that is, you can't press and massage partially.

Third, you can take some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs orally, or use some anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointments topically.

Fourth, if the above ** is not good, there are local tender points, you can go to the hospital for closure**.

After the above treatment, if the symptoms do not improve, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for examination to rule out other diseases. The specific judgment should be made by a professional doctor, please do not make a self-diagnosis,**.

You are talking about the symptoms of Achilles tendonitis, what are the specific manifestations? What are the main symptoms and sensations of discomfort? Achilles tendonitis is mostly due to insufficient blood in the liver and inability to nourish the fascia, resulting in soreness in the heel, which is related to your physique and improper diet and living habits.

**It is advisable to find traditional Chinese medicine to prescribe the right medicine after combining the physical constitution to distinguish yin and yang deficiency and reality, cold and heat, as well as the disease location and viscera.

The Achilles tendon and its surrounding aponeurosis suffer from strain during strenuous exercise such as walking, running and jumping, and some fibrous tears, congestion, edema, fibrosis, and even calcification, etc., and are aseptic inflammatory diseases with local pain, inability to land on the heel, and aggravation of ankle dorsal extension pain.

What to do about Achilles tendonitis.

1.Use support pads Support pads can elevate the ankle to reduce stretch on the Achilles tendon. Doctors may also have a splint used during sleep at night to keep the Achilles tendon immobilized.

2.Wearing walking boots or using crutches If the condition is severe, your doctor may recommend Chinese medicine to help your Achilles tendon heal.

3.Surgery**: Topical medications often heal and self-heal Achilles tendonitis within a few weeks. If these treatments don't work, surgery may be needed to remove the inflammatory tissue around the Achilles tendon. However, this is often the last resort.

4.Traditional Chinese medicine plaster: Traditional Chinese medicine plaster is the main method of Achilles tendonitis, which is directly applied to the affected area, which can penetrate into the muscles and tissues through the disease, and reach the root of the disease directly to achieve the purpose of the disease.

5.Massage**: Use the tip of the thumb of one hand to pinch the root of the palm at the end of the inner palm pattern of the other hand (slightly on the side of the thumb), and shake the back of the hand with the other four fingers as a support, and try to push as hard as possible in the situation that the patient can accept.

After 3 minutes of pinching, it becomes a loose and a press, and the acupoints are regularly and rhythmically pointed 36 times for 1 time, and then continue to pinch and press for 5 minutes after relieving.

6.Traditional Chinese medicine: Prunella vulgaris 20g, Angelica sinensis 10g, Chuanxiong 10g, Yellow tendon vine 15g, deer tendon 30g, honeysuckle 20g, Goldenrod 10g, Poria cocos 20g, raw rice kernel, Duhuo, Sichuan hyssop 10g, raw licorice 5g, water decoction 1 dose per day.

Precautions. 1. Don't wear high heels, wear sneakers or shoes that are more comfortable for your feet.

2. Don't be tired of your feet, rest if you feel pain, don't worry about the pain, it will only get worse if it goes on like that.

3. Soak your feet in hot water at night, that is, soak your feet in hot water, about half an hour, and insist on soaking your feet every day.

4. When you are fine, put your feet in a higher place.

5. Just after eating, it is not advisable to do it immediately, at least wait for 1 hour to avoid causing stomach prolapse.

6. The rise and fall must be coordinated with the breathing, inhaling and exhaling.
