How can I treat tendonitis?

What's the best way to treat Tendonitis?

  • I believe I got tendonitis in my knee. It hasnt really been about to heal because I'm always moving and I'm a dancer. I know I need to let up on it so that it can heal, but what are some other things I can do to aid this. It's uncomfortable and painful at times, and I'd like for it to be gone. Any suggestions? (besides going to the doctor).

  • Answer:

    Tendonitis in the patellar tendon (Jumpers knee) can be relieved during activity by placing a piece of tape firmly around the knee just under the tip of the patella (knee cap). You tape all the way around the knee. Ice and rest it and if it begins to hurt during an activity, stop doing it. Since I am not a doctor, I can not give advice on medications, ask your pharmacists about over the counter antiinflammatories or see your doctor. Gentle stretching may help and once it's cleared up you might want to try a little strength training for the quads to see if it may help prevent it. I would encourage you to see a doctor because they can give you a definite diagnosis. It may be patellofemoral syndrome (in which case you may need to stretch the IT band and strengthen the inside of your quads), it may be a meniscal tear, ligament injury, bursitis. It is much easier to treat when you have a definite diagnosis.

two Aleve pills has an anti-inflammatory action. You could try that eery 6-8 hours. Often times pressure on the point where the tendon inserts into the bone is helpful. And stretching exercises. If the Aleve doesn't work, you may beed to see a doc. You may not have tendonitis if you're a dance, it may be something is strained, sprained, or torn.

I had the same problem in my elbow for a year. It just wouldn't go away. Three treatments of acupuncture got rid of it. Try it. It really works!
