Tendinitis
Scientific name and common name-Tendinitis
Symptoms-painful tendons, inflammation of a tendon
Causes-vigorous excercise, weakened tendons (with age), repetitive tasks
Tretment-rest, immobilization with a splint or cast, and application of heat or cold. Taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for 7 to 10 days can reduce the pain and inflammation.
Prognosis-surgery may be necessary to release or repair the involved tendon in chronic cases that don't respond to other interventions. Otherwise, excercises which strengthen nearby muscles but rest the tendon are used.
