Can Achilles tendonitis go away on its own? What are the symptoms of Achilles tendonitis?

The Achilles tendon is made up of muscle groups and band-like tendon fibers, which bear the high intensity of tension. In the process of exercise, the Achilles tendon is easily injured by repeated stretching forces, and aseptic inflammation occurs, called Achilles tendonitis. Achilles tendonitis is more common in people who love running and jumping, and the severity varies.

Patients will experience pain, soreness, and tenderness above the heel, which will worsen with activity. So will Achilles tendonitis get better on its own? What should I do with Achilles tendonitis**?

1. Non-surgical**. Achilles tendonitis is difficult, can progress to degenerative disease, and it is important to be prompt. If the condition is not severe, you can accept conservative** first.

Massage can be used to improve local blood supply, reduce pain symptoms, and loosen adhesions. If the pain is very severe, patients may be given antipyretic analgesics. Physical methods are also important, including acupuncture, cold therapy, heat therapy, magnetic therapy and other types.

Patients with acute Achilles tendonitis can choose cold therapy, which can quickly reduce symptoms in a short period of time.

2. Surgery**. If conservatively** does not respond and the swelling around the Achilles tendon persists, the patient should consider surgery**. During the procedure, the diseased tissue is removed and the defective tissue is repaired to restore the basic physiological function of the Achilles tendon.

The patient should be trained after surgery and can walk with the help of a brace. If the Achilles tendon is partially ruptured, the ankle should be fixed in flexion for two weeks after surgery until the pain and swelling subside before light training. Until it is completely healed, the patient should avoid strenuous exercise and usually wear heel wedges to reduce the burden on the Achilles tendon.

According to the above introduction, the ** method of Achilles tendonitis is divided into two types: non-surgical method and surgical method. When non-surgical methods are ineffective, patients should consider surgery. Achilles tendonitis is more common in sports enthusiasts and is associated with long-term wear and tear of the Achilles tendon.

To prevent the disease, it is important to do adequate warm-up activities before exercising to relax the muscles of the whole body. In the process of exercise, it is necessary to grasp the frequency and intensity of exercise to avoid falling and bruising.

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: choose anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs, such as [Achilles tendon visit to the world], 4. Occlusion**: Occlusive needle is to inject drugs into the painful part to achieve the purpose of anti-inflammatory and 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.
