Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Treatment options: My suggestions to patients w/ tendonitis consist of rice, anti-inflammatories (oral/ topical), strengthening/ stretching. I also may suggest massage or bracing. If the above list does not help then you may want to consider discussing injections (cortisone or prp), oral/ topical prescriptions, or even orthotics with your physician.

Depends on severity: Mild case you rest , ice, put compression on it and elevate it when you can and try a course of nsaids. Physical therapy can make a difference and is very important in moderate and severe cases. A cast or removable boot can give rest to the tendon and in moderate and severe cases and is common . Surgery is for refractory cases.
