Tendonitis (also spelled tendinitis) is an inflammation of a tendon. Generally tendonitis is referred to by the body part involved, such as Achillies tendonitis (inflammation of the Achilles tendon), or patellar tendonitis (jumper's knee; inflammation of the patellar tendon). Chronic overuse of tendons leads to microscopic tears within the collagen matrix, which gradually weakens the tissue. Tendonitis can also be associated with systemic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Diagnosis Swelling in a region of micro damage or partial tear can be detected visually or by touch. Increased water content and disorganized collagen matrix in tendon lesions may be detected by ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging.
Symptoms can vary from an ache or pain and stiffness to the local area of the tendon, or a burning that surrounds the whole joint around the inflamed tendon. With this condition, the pain is usually worse during and after activity, and the tendon and joint area can become stiffer the following day as swelling impinges on the movement of the tendon.
Tendonitis can result from several different things. Did you just start a brand new exercise program? You may have jumped in a little too hastily by working out before you had the chance to really stretch and warm up your body. There’s the chance that you attacked the new program with gusto and didn’t allow your body time to gradually adjust to this level of activity. While you may have always enjoyed different types of exercise in your life, tendonitis is a result of the aging process. The tendons’ flexibility decreases as we age, so the activities and intensity that you enjoyed in your 20s won’t be at the same level when you are 40 years older. An increase in weight may also result in tendonitis. Why? Extra pounds put a lot of additional pressure on your joints and tendons. Could the foods you eat add to your problem of tendonitis? Absolutely! If you experience tendonitis or have had it in the past, there are a few things that you should avoid. Read food and beverage labels to ensure that you aren’t unconsciously consuming these products. Among the things to avoid are:
All of these foods and drinks can deplete the body of precious critical nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, and may actually prevent the body from working to heal itself. Stick with healthier options like fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, whole grain breads and cereals, nuts, plenty of water, and oils like olive or canola.
Tendonitis Symptoms
These thick, stretchy fibrous tissues attach your muscles to bones. When you make any sort of movement that requires your bones to also move, your tendons contract your muscles. Tendons are like an intricate ballet of sorts - - they move smoothly to keep your muscles. You would probably never have reason to notice the important work that your tendons do each and every day unless of course, you are experiencing pain from them. Tendonitis occurs when one or more of your tendons become terribly painful and swollen. That smooth motion moving the muscles evolves into tendonitis when irritation arises. Got pain? You may have tendonitis if you are experiencing pain in one of the following areas:

Any repetitive movement of the tendons can cause this condition. So, now you are suffering with tendonitis. What types of activities can help your body heal from this injury? Here are some fitness suggestions to try when you are suffering from tendonitis. These exercises are for a range of injuries from the elbow to the Achilles tendon to jumper’s knee: Lie on your back with your legs straight in front of you. Tighten the top of your thigh muscle and carefully lift your leg off the floor. Slowly lower your leg back to the floor, keeping your front thigh muscles tight. Do three sets of 10. Swimming is a great way to relieve the pain from tendonitis because the buoyancy of the water puts no pressure on your tendons and joints. Place a soup can or other low weight product in your hand. As you bend your elbow, bring your hand (palm side facing up) towards your shoulder. Hold this position for five seconds and then bring your arm back to the starting position. Do three sets of 10. Stand behind a sturdy chair and hold onto it for support. Gently raise your body up on your toes and hold the position for five seconds. Gradually lower your weight down to the starting position. Do three sets of 10. Get down on all fours on the floor. Position your hands directly under your shoulders. Gently lower yourself to the floor a la push-up fashion and keep your spine straight. Try to do two sets of 10. Bend your wrist gently forward. Hold for five seconds. Do three sets of 10. Move your injured wrist downward with firm yet gentle pressure from your uninjured wrist. Hold the position for 15 seconds. Stretch the wrist backward and hold for 15 seconds. Do three sets of 10. Bring your palm up towards your shoulder, bending your elbow as far as you can. Now straighten your elbow out 10 times. Do three sets of 10. Place the ball of your injured foot on a step. Carefully lower your heel downward as if to touch the bottom of the step below. Feel the stretch in the foot and hold for 15 seconds. Return to the original position. Do this three times. Place a towel on the ground. Put your foot on the floor and pick up the towel with your toes. Release the position. Do this exercise 15 times.
The symptoms of tendonitis can leave you feeling really frustrated. You wonder if you will ever again be able to pitch a baseball or hit the clay for a game of tennis. It’s understandable to feel upset and angry with your body, but there are a few things you should know when dealing with tendonitis. There are three very simple things that you can do to improve the pain and swelling of tendonitis. They don’t cost you a thing. Go easy – Avoid any activity that would put undue stress or pressure on your joints, muscles, bones, and tendons. Your body is in a state of healing and you don’t want to do anything to hurt yourself worse or injure another part of your body. So, allow yourself ample rest and forget the activities that can cause you harm. Think medicine – Want to help your tendonitis feel better and reduce the swelling and inflammation? Head over to your medicine cabinet and treat yourself to an aspirin or ibuprofen. Both of these over the counter meds offer anti-inflammatory benefits and help ease the pain of this condition. Just remember to follow the dosage instructions on the bottle and if you experience an upset stomach, take the pills with food or a small glass of milk. Feel the freeze – Whip out an ice pack from your freezer and stick it to your pain. Seriously, put that ice bag where it really hurts – at the exact spot where you feel that tendonitis. Ice helps to alleviate the swelling caused by injuries. Place the ice pack on your pain for 10-15 minutes, taking care to move it around on occasion so that your skin doesn’t get frostbite. After your careful icing treatment, remove the ice pack and allow your skin to warm up. You can do this treatment hourly for maximum relief.
