Tendonitis
Throughout the body, muscles are connected to the bone and to other tissues
via tendons. When the tendon wears out or is damaged the result is a painful
swelling and inflammation known as tendonitis. The associated pain is
sometimes described as a gritty sensation that occurs with tendon movement.
Treatments can include rest, ice packs, anti-inflammatories or cortisone
shots. If symptoms do not subside after a couple weeks, or if symptoms
are due to a sudden trauma, seek medical guidance.
Wellington Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine can help diagnose your condition.
