      Tendinitis

      TENDINITIS

      Tendinitis means swelling or irritation of a tendon. It can affect any tendon in your body- tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, pitcher's shoulder, de Quervain’s, and trigger finger are all forms of tendinitis. Most of the time, tendinitis is caused by overuse or repetitive motions. Repetitive motions can cause small micro tears that occur each time use your tendon. When you do the same activity over and over again, the tears do not have time to heal properly, causing injury. The activity may be as simple as a day of cleaning or painting walls, or playing in the first ball game of the season without warming up.


      SYMPTOMS OF TENDINITIS

      • You notice pain, tenderness and stiffness

      • You may notice a tingling sensation or numbness

      • You may notice muscle weakness

      WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT TENDINITIS?

      Rest, along with anti-inflammatory medication such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen can help with your pain and swelling. Your healthcare provider may also prescribe other medications and/or physical and occupational therapy to help improve or maintain motion and comfort.

      Splints that support but do not fully limit motion may help relieve the symptoms of mild tendinitis. For more severe tendinitis, when total rest is required, splints with firmer control are usually recommended.
