Tendonitis

Thank you all for your replies very much appreciated

I developed tendonitis in one hand. After standard treatment was ineffective, I was given a steroid injection into the muscle involved.

That was about 10 years ago and I have had no problems since.

I had a problem with one of my Achilles tendons. Consultant referred me to a physio who used ultra-sound on it and it worked almost immediately. You might be offered a steroid injection but those are not easy to administer to feet. But they would work pretty well.

I had Tendonitis in my knee. The RICE treatment along with prescribed exercises helped. A Freeze Spray helped during the night. It took at least 18 months to clear up. I am still aware of the tenden and have to pace myself so as not to cause another flare up of the inflammation.

I had to go along and see a physio who gave me some exercises to do. Try not to stretch them and the RICE treatment is definitely advised. Do take care and I hope yours goes away quickly, mine took around 3 months to get better. Take care.

I'd see the GP ( if you can ) if it gets any worse.

I guess it’s the RICE treatment- rest, ice pack, compression, elevation. In the past I have found wearing a compression sock like these helpful,
