Symptoms of tendinitis

summary

Tendons are tough fibrous connective tissues that connect bones and muscles. Tendinitis usually refers to the degeneration of tendon collagen fibers caused by excessive use of muscle fibers and repeated strong traction. In addition to the tendon itself, it can also involve the tendon sheath. In the past, the diagnosis of tendinitis was often used, but in fact, it was not a single inflammation. In most cases, it was often accompanied by degeneration of the involved tendon collagen tissue, so it is now commonly known as tenopathy. The most common chronic diseases related to exercise are Achilles tendon disease, patellar tendon disease, quadriceps femoris and hamstring tendon disease, rotator cuff tendon disease, "tennis elbow" external epicondylitis, etc. The symptom of tendinitis? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of tendinitis

Medial epicondylitis (golf elbow, baseball elbow) inflammation of the tendon attached to the medial epicondyle of the humerus, caused by repeated weight-bearing wrist flexion or rotation. Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) inflammation of the tendon attached to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, caused by repeated wrist extension or rotation.

Rotator cuff inflammation (swimmer's shoulder, tennis shoulder, pitcher's shoulder) is a group of inflammation of tendons that control shoulder movement, including supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. It is caused by repeatedly lifting the shoulder over the head.

Biceps tendinitis is a joint between the biceps and the shoulder caused by strain. Patellar tendinitis is the joint between patella and tibia, which is caused by excessive running and jumping. Popliteal tendinitis is located behind the knee joint and is caused by excessive downhill running or walking.

matters needing attention

Some patients, especially when adhesion occurs; If the above treatment is invalid, surgical treatment can be considered. The narrow sheath was cut longitudinally and a small sheath was removed to eliminate the source of pain. Disadvantages: great trauma, great pain, long recovery period. Massage baths can help raise body temperature and promote blood circulation. If tendinitis occurs in the knee, warm and wet towel can be used for hot compress. In recent years, ultrasonic therapy has been used in the treatment of tendinitis, especially with calcification, but its efficacy still needs to be further confirmed.
