Question 1

why do i only get tendonitis in the morning ?

Accepted Answer

Probably tendonosis: Usually what you are describing is tendonosis, not tendonitis.  This is not necessarily acute inflammation, but chronically damaged, scarred tendons.  With rest, the scarred tendons lose their flexibility and become tender.  With mobility and stretching, this gradually improves.

Question 2

how come i get tendonitis in the morning ?

Accepted Answer

Because: Joint pain and stiffness as well as other arthritic conditions are often worse in the morning due to being inacitve for a period a time while you were sleeping.  This could be a sign of inflammatory arthritis which you should evaluated if it does not improve.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Have your doctor examine your shoulder to be sure it is not some other cause.

Question 4

i have pain at the back of my heel,little above the arch. and i have pain in the morning.especially the first few steps.is it achilles tendonitis?

Accepted Answer

Not clear: By ur description of Sx, pain in am and just behind the arch, it sounds more like a case of plantar fasciitis.  It really depends on whether the pain is on the bottom of the foot or rather on the top of the heel bone where the Achilles attaches.  People with PF (very common) tend to have am pain as all nite long the plantar fascia on the bottom of the foot shortens while the foot is plantar flexed

Question 5

how do i recover from tendonitis and get the painful symptoms under control?

Accepted Answer

Tendinitis: Tendinitis is generally referred to inflammation or irritation of a tendon which is a thick fibrous cords that attaches muscle to bone. Tendinitis causes pain and tenderness that can affect the use of the adjacent joint. Treatment goals include relieving  pain and reducing inflammation with use of  splints, therapy, rest, ice and over-the-counter pain & antiinflammatory meds and rarely surgery.

Question 6

is there something i can do to recover from tendonitis and get the painful symptoms under control?

Accepted Answer

Start with RICE: Tendonitis (inflammed tendon)  commonly results from overuse. Start treatment w/ rice, nsaid, stretch/ strength prog (pt or ot), & consider couterforce bracing. Massage may also help. If these treatments fail you may be a candidate for cortisone/ prp injections. Few people end up needing surgery.

Question 7

how could i get rid of patellar tendonitis?

Accepted Answer

Listen to your body: Start by decreasing any aggravating activity. Ice the area 20 min 3 times a day and try some over the counter anti-inflammatories. Exercises to stretch the tendon and strengthen surrounding structures are probably most important. A patellar tendon strap may also help- get one at a local pharmacy. If none of these help see your doc- you may benefit from pt. Sometimes foot mechanics contribute too.

Question 8

how can i  get rid of tendonitis?

Accepted Answer

Few things to do: Depending in where is your tendinitis, but few general things: good range of motion, stretching, use of elbow-strap, avoid the "traumatic activities" that caused your tendinitis and use motrin/aleve may help. If not better, consult doc for eval of alterative treatment--different meds, physical therapy, and/or possible cortisone injection. Shockwave therapy may help. Good luck.

Question 9

is it possible to get an ultrasound for tendonitis?

Accepted Answer

Yes: An ultrasound can examine many tendons that are traditionally examined with an mri. We can often see tendinitis, calcifications, and tears. However, it doesn't tend to change our management of the tendinitis.

Question 10

how did i get achilles tendonitis?

Accepted Answer

Overuse: Achilles tendonitis is an overuse syndrome like any other form of tendonitis. It is cause by repeated activities that cause strain and micro tears in the tissues. The best treatment is rest, ice, antiinflammatories and occasionally splinting/immobilization.
