Question 1

management of infraspinatus tendinitis?

Accepted Answer

Infraspinatus is one: Of the rotator cuff muscles in the shoulder. Treatment may include rest from the activity causing the injury for a period of time, physical therapy & exercises to strengthen the muscles, anti-inflammatory medicines to decrease inflammation, and possibly ultrasound & deep tissue massage to break op scar tissue. Talk to your doctor about seeing a pt & treatment specifics.

Question 2

what is the best treatment for quad tendinitis?

Accepted Answer

Rest, meds, PT, u/s: Tendinitis in the limbs is often result of over use/trauma and the first thing to do is take it easy/rest a bit. Antiinflammatory meds such as aleve/motrin may help. Physical therapy/gentle stretching/rom exercises. Iontophoresis ultrasounds therapy, topical meds etc...May help quite a bit as well. So, if doing on your own not enough, consult doc. Good luck.

Question 3

what is the best treatment for patellar tendinitis?

Accepted Answer

Ice and PT: Patellar tendinitis is inflammation of the tendon attaching your knee cap to your shin bone. It is best treated by a regular icing program and physical therapy.

Question 4

is there treatment for tendinitis?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Most of the time tendinitis is treated conservatively with nsaids (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen) and lots of rest. Ice, compression, and elevation of the leg can help. Physical therapy may be recommended to stretch and strengthen the tendon. Gradually increase physical activity to keep the tendon flexible. Full recovery usually takes a few weeks. For very severe injuries, you may need surgery.

Question 5

infraspinatus tendonitis on left shoulder and type-3 acromion on right in mri. will shoulder compressions&supports help me? what about the acromion?

Accepted Answer

Therapy or surgery: If it is a mild tendonitis it may respond to
ice, nsaids and rest.. Perhaps a cortisone injection
or therapy will help
If there is significant AC joint narrowing, you may
ultimately need an AC decompression which
you certainly should try to do before you get
any significant tears in the rotator cuff

Question 6

few days treatment for wrist tendinitis & now can do the thumb test with little pain & more mobility. can i go back to lifting weights now? advice?tnx

Accepted Answer

Weight training: A general  rule after tendonitis or joint irritation has resolved is to go back at half load and half repetition. Wearing a glove or soft splint and avoiding the positions that previously caused irritation is important as well as knowing what may have set the problem off in the first place. Mechanics become even more important. Speak with a trainer, or PT  and  your doctor to clarlfy things

Question 7

ganglion cysts and acute tendinitis in middle of both wrists.pain w/ basic tasks & too much pressure.popping/cracking w/ little to no pain.treatment?

Accepted Answer

Surgery?: May need a surgical procedure and/or physical therapy. Best to see a hand surgeon for a more complete evaluation. You can then make a more informed decision about what to do. Base your decision on the severity of the problem, chances of success if treatment, and pick which feels right. There's no "right" answer, and no treatment without risk. Hope this helps!

Question 8

extensor tendinitis and peroneal tendinitis of left foot? treatment plan? should i try a brace? a boot didnt help.

Accepted Answer

Peroneal tendinitis,: In my opinion, peroneal tendinitis of the foot is best handled by a pediatric specialist as he/she is an expert in diagnosis and treatment of foot disorders and the focus is 100% on all matters of the foot. If symptoms are atypical,an MRI or ultrasound may reveal other causes of the symptoms. Anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injection, physical therapy,tendon release surgery are some

Question 9

what kind of treatment do you recommend for a distal infraspinatus tendiniosis with ill defined partial thickness tearing along the insertional fibers?

Accepted Answer

PT: For these types of lesions I recommend a good course of physical therapy. If you are having a lot of pain then a  cortisone shot can help.  Surgery is most likely not needed.

Question 10

i have a rim rent partial thickness tear involving the articular surface of the infraspinatus tendon 2/3rd of the thickness what treatment would recom?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends if you are having shoulder pain and your exam correlates w/ your pain and MRI findings.Your history doesn'tmention shoulder pain. If u do and it meets criteria above then arthroscopic repair(for2/3 partial thickness tear) would be done.Your symptoms suggest other possibilities in addition to your "mri diagnosis".
