Why Do I have Tendonitis?

Tendonitis is also known as tendinitis, and refers to inflammation of a tendon.

It is a type of tendinopathy (tendon disease). When it becomes a long term chronic condition, it is also known as tendinosis.

We generally describe tendinitis in relation to the body part involved, such as achilles tendinitis(heel), patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee) and rotator cuff tendinitis (shoulder).

Symptoms can include aches, pains or stiffness, and even a burning sensation around the inflamed tendon. In some cases, swelling occurs along with warmth and redness.Pain is usually worse during and after an activity, and the affected area can become stiff the following day as muscles tighten from the movement of the tendon.
Tendonitis can cause significant personal distress, making it hard to exercise, needing time off work, affect a person’s social interactions and result in depressed mood.

Do I Need To Do X-rays, Ultrasounds or MRIs?

Many cases can usually be well managed by an experienced doctor who can provide a clinical diagnosis based on a patient’s clinical history and physical examination.

Where the initial treatments have not been effective, an X-ray would be a cost-effective way to exclude other conditions.
Ultrasounds and MRIs are useful when we need to visualize the tendon for a precise diagnosis.

How Can Tendonitis Be Treated?

For many patients, their doctors will likely prescribe rest and medications for a short period of time.

Medications with the lowest risk of side effects should generally be used first.

Physiotherapy is another well accepted option.

Using techniques such as manual therapy, stretches and muscle strengthening exercises, it can have a good result in many patients.

Why Are My Treatments Not Working?

While treatments of tendinitis can be very effective, patients may experience problems such as:

Side effects from the strong pharmaceuticals
Difficulty finding a suitable physiotherapist
Difficulty finding the time to rest long enough for full recovery
Development of chronic injury (tendinosis)

What To Expect When I Visit The Pain Relief Clinic

A typical visit will involve our doctor first understanding your medical history, concerns and previous experience with other pain treatments.

For patients who have consulted many people but have yet to receive a clear diagnosis, selecting an affordable imaging scan might be recommended to confirm the cause of your pain..

Some patients have already done scans with other doctors for their pain condition but are still not clearly told what they suffer from.

Dr Terence Tan is happy to offer you a second opinion and recommend how best to manage your condition.

We also see patients who already have a confirmed diagnosis from specialist pain doctors, but are "stuck” because treatment options offered are not practical or acceptable.

We can help by discussing options that you might have potentially never been told of.

A common experience is when a patient has already consulted a specialist doctor for pain management and is told to consider orthopaedic surgery which they find too aggressive.

Or they may have seen doctors for their pain and were prescribed painkillers with potential side effects which made them feel uncomfortable.

Many of our patients have also first tried complementary treatments or acupuncture with traditional Chinese pain doctors.

They look for a second opinion after finding any relief experienced from other treatments to be temporary or requiring repetitive treatments, which add up to time and cost.

Especially in such situations, we emphasize using non-invasive medical technology you likely have not been told about .

This can make a big difference to your results.
