HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR TENDINITIS

 Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon — any one of the thick fibrous cords that attaches muscle to bone. The condition causes pain and tenderness just outside a joint.

While tendinitis can occur in any of your body's tendons, it's most common around your shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees and heels.

Some common names for various tendinitis problems are:

·         Tennis elbow

·         Golfer's elbow

·         Pitcher's shoulder

·         Swimmer's shoulder

·         Jumper's knee

If tendinitis is severe and leads to the rupture of a tendon, you may need surgical repair. But most cases of tendinitis can be successfully treated with rest, physical therapy and medications to reduce pain.

Causes-- Although tendinitis can be caused by a sudden injury, the condition is much more likely to stem from the repetition of a particular movement over time. Most people develop tendinitis because their jobs or hobbies involve repetitive motions, which put stress on the tendons needed to perform the tasks.

Symptoms-- Signs and symptoms of tendinitis tend to occur at the point where a tendon attaches to a bone and typically include:

·         Pain often described as a dull ache, especially when moving the affected limb or joint

·         Tenderness

·         Mild swelling

Risk factors-- Risk factors for developing tendinitis include age, working in particular jobs or participating in certain sports.

Age

As people get older, their tendons become less flexible — which makes them easier to injure.

Occupations

Tendinitis is more common in people whose jobs involve:

·         Repetitive motions

·         Awkward positions

·         Frequent overhead reaching

·         Vibration

·         Forceful exertion

Sports

You may be more likely to develop tendinitis if you participate in certain sports that involve repetitive motions, especially if your technique isn't optimal. This can occur with:

·         Baseball

·         Basketball

·         Bowling

·         Golf

·         Running

·         Swimming

·         Tennis

Complications-- Without proper treatment, tendinitis can increase your risk of experiencing tendon rupture — a much more serious condition that may require surgical repair.

If tendon irritation persists for several weeks or months, a condition known as tendinosis may develop. This condition involves degenerative changes in the tendon itself, along with abnormal new blood vessel growth.
