What Is Tendonitis?
Tendonitis is a disorder that affects the bursa and tendons of the joints. Tendons must maintain flexibility and stability in order to provide healthy tendon functions. The tendons and muscles are the force, which powers our joints and allows our bodies to move freely. The bursa is fluid filled sac-like structures that provide smooth movement between the tissue structures.
The bursa and tendons are positioned near the joints, therefore when inflammation develops in these tissues; associated joint pain may often be mistaken for an arthritic condition. Tendonitis and arthritis symptoms are very similar: such as stiffness and pain that becomes worse during the night, and pain when there is movement of the affected joint.
Although tendonitis is usually a temporary condition, it has the potential to become a chronic condition.
How Common Are Tendonitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Patellar Tendonitis and Shoulder Tendonitis?
Tendonitis affects all age groups and approximately 6 percent of the population is affected by this condition.
Shoulder Tendonitis
Shoulder Tendonitis is closely related and may occur alone or in combination. If the rotator cuff and bursa are irritated, inflamed and swollen, they may become squeezed between the head of the humerus and the acromion. Repetitive motion involving the arms, or sometimes the aging process involving shoulder motion over many years, may also irritate and wear down the tendons, muscles, and surrounding structures.
Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis involves the large tendon at the back of the ankle. It connects the large calf muscles (Gastrocnemius and Soleus) to the heal bone (calcaneus). This tendon can become inflamed through overuse, in addition to a number of other contributory factors.
An estimated 11 percent of all running injuries can be due to Achilles tendonitis. The Achilles tendon has a poor blood supply resulting in a slower healing time.
Patellar Tendonitis
Patellar tendonitis, known as "jumper's knee", usually develops when the knee joint is overused. The Patellar tendon connects the quadriceps muscle to the shinbone (tibia). The kneecap (patella) is a floating bone (sesamoid) that is a section of the patellar tendon. It is believed that since the patellar ligament or patellar tendon joins the tibia to the patella it should be considered a ligament. Tendons connect the muscles to the bone, whereas ligaments connect bone to bone.
What Are the Warning Signs of Tendonitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Patellar Tendonitis and Shoulder Tendonitis?
The symptoms of tendonitis can include:
- Swelling, stiffness and pain, around the injury
- Limited movement of the affected area
- Pain that tends to get worse at night
- Increased pain with movement
In order to accurately diagnose tendonitis, a thorough physical exam and medical history will be required. Your doctor may order a routine blood test to confirm whether there may be an underlying condition such as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis.
Chronic tendon conditions are known as tendinosis (tendonosis) or tendinopathy (tendonopathy), whereas acute inflammation of the tendons is referred to as tendonitis.

How Are Tendonitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Patellar Tendonitis and Shoulder Tendonitis Treated?
If your doctor has confirmed that you have developed tendonitis, Achilles tendonitis, patellar tendonitis or shoulder tendonitis the method of treatment will based on the exact cause of the condition. You will be required to immobilize the affected area and medication may be prescribed to help control the pain. Common medications used for tendonitis and their function include:
NSAIDs
These drugs are of beneficial in reducing swelling and pain in joints while lessening stiffness. A small dose controls pain, but larger doses are necessary to reduce inflammation, and are frequently the first choice for lower back pain relief.
The harmful effects of NSAIDs can include:
- Taking additional NSAIDs at this time enhances the probability of heartburn
- May cause severe adverse effects like bleeding and ulcers
- Kidney disease, a reported and possible side effect
- Potentially restrains the blood's capability to clot and may work against other blood-thinners such as Coumadin
A prescription is required for most NSAIDs including naproxen (nabumetone (Relafen®), Naprosyn®), Indomethacin (Indocid®), Piroxicam (Feldene®), Diclofenac (Voltaren®), and Sulindac (Clinoril®). There are other NSAIDs, which are available without a prescription and consist of ASA (Anacin®, Aspirin®, etc), and Ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin IB®, etc.).
COX-2 Inhibitors
These are a subclass of NSAID’s that have more recently been released in North America and include the following: Rofecoxib (Vioxx®), Celecoxib (Celebrex®), Meloxicam (Mobicox®), and Valdecoxib (Bextra®). Standard NSAID’s affect blood clotting, whereas Cox-2 inhibitors do not, but they do share the same serious adverse affects, which include: kidney failure, heart attack and numerous cardiovascular complications.
* Important News Release - September 2004
Vioxx®Vioxx®, which is a Cox-2 inhibitor manufactured by Merck, has been removed from the shelves due to severe fatal side effects such as strokes and heart attacks. This particular drug’s ability to provide relief for bursitis pain has been under scrutiny, therefore alternative tendonitis pain relief is recommended.
Acetaminophen
Acetaminophen is sometimes known as Tylenol®, Panadol®, Exdol® and others. It is often prescribed for moderate symptoms of tendonitis pain.
- Does not have anti-inflammatory properties
- Can usually be safely taken in conjunction with anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief. Consult your health care professional first.
- May relieve tendonitis pain but does not address the underlying source of this condition
- Long-term use may result in kidney disease
- Excessive doses may result in liver damage
If you do combine acetaminophen for tendonitis pain relief with non-prescription remedies such as cold and flu medications, check the ingredients to make sure that it does not contain too much acetaminophen, which can result in an overdose.
Corticosteroids
Corticosteroids may be injected directly into the joint to relieve severe inflammation and swelling. Cortisone mimics the anti-inflammatory effects of cortisol - a hormone produced naturally in the body. A cortisone injection can provide almost immediate relief for a swollen, tender or inflamed joint. But corticosteroids can deplete necessary minerals from the bone and weaken the cartilage itself; therefore these should only be taken on a rare occasion. Overuse of corticosteroids can suppress immune functions and increases the risk of infection.
Prednisone is the most commonly used form of corticosteroid. Oral preparations of prednisone are usually prescribed when the tendonitis symptoms have not responded to other types of treatment, and there are concerns regarding further flare-ups, or if the condition itself may be life threatening. Caution should be used when taking prednisone. This drug has many side effects, which require careful monitoring and should never be abruptly discontinued.
Long-term use of corticosteroids may induce the following side effects:
- High blood pressure
- Loss of muscle
- Sleep problems
- Increased bruising
- Weight gain
- Increased risk of infections
- Suppressed immune functions
- Thinning of the bones (osteopenia and osteoporosis)
- Cataracts
Anti-Malarials
Anti-malarial drugs may take several months to become effective, but they can help control joint pain, skin rashes and fatigue often associated with tendonitis. Anti-malarial medications often include Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil®) and Chloroquine (Aralen®).
Anti-malarial medications most commonly cause stomach distress. Serious side effects can include loss of vision, which can develop when high doses of anti-malarials are taken over extended periods of time. Your doctor may request an eye examination prior to prescribing this medication, followed by regular routine eye exams.
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy is injected at the point of injury, using a compound such as calcium carbonate or dextrose. This generates an inflammatory response, increasing the blood supply, which optimizes the absorption of nutrients, therefore promoting new cell growth. This significantly enhances connective tissue repair.
Tendonitis Risk Factors
The most commonly acknowledged causes of tendonitis are excessive, repetitive movement of the joints, as with excessive exercise where the body is unfamiliar. The blood-flow to the tendons declines as the body ages. This decreases the body’s ability to repair and can initiate tendonitis.
These are the most common tendonitis risk factors:
- Being overweight. Abnormal pressure is placed on the legs and feet in obese individuals.
- Continually wearing poorly fitted shoes that are constantly rubbing against the tendons in the foot.
- The presence of bone spurs in the foot/feet or in other areas that irritate the tendons.
- Excessive use of the arm muscles, which can result in inflammation of the tendons in the elbow (“tennis elbow”).
- Repetitive use of the wrist, causing inflammation of the tendons.
- Excessive use of the tendons, which often occurs in the serving arm of tennis players, and in the shoulders of avid swimmers.
- Being unfit. When you are in poor fitness condition, tendons can become weak.
- Having an infection. Often, having an infection within the tendon sheath or bursa will create inflammation.
- Having particular systemic illnesses such as systemic sclerosis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, diabetes, hypercholesteremia, osteoarthritis, Reiter’s syndrome, and thyroid disease, which may increase the risk to develop tendonitis.
- Having incorrect posture. Excessive stress is put on the tendons when you have poor posture and use your limbs in an awkward manner.
- Having a genetic predisposition. Development of defective connective tissue (e.g. abnormal collagen levels) or decreased circulation increases when there is a hereditary connection. Conditions such as these can develop into to tendonitis. Pain and inflammation might not be apparent until the individual is middle-aged or when there is some degree of trauma in genetically weakened areas.
Tendonitis Wellness Tips
The following tips will help you manage the pain of tendonitis:
- Apply a hot and cold remedy. You can provide short-term relief of pain by applying heat or cold to the affected area. Heat will help reduce stiffness and pain, which will increase circulation to the area, and relax aching muscles. (Many health professionals believe that heat application will not be effective, and will only make the situation more painful, so use caution when applying heat. Cold will help numb the pain by blocking nerve impulses, and constricting blood vessels. Always use a towel or another barrier in between your skin and the source of cold or heat.
- Keep active. Exercise helps protect joint structures and tendons, and keep them strong and healthy. Gradually increase the frequency and intensity of each activity, and always remember to warm up and cool down before and after all exercises.
- Change positions regularly. This is especially important if you are seated for long periods of time. By changing your posture and position frequently, you will help reduce the stress on specific tendons. Try to take frequent breaks as well.
- Position your joints carefully to avoid unnecessary stress on the joints. Use your arms, back and legs to avoid placing extra stress on your joints. For instance, carry any heavy loads near your body. While in the bathroom, use shower seats and grab bars to help you to avoid falls and conserve your energy. Use your larger and stronger joints to bear the burden of heavy loads. For instance, carry a shoulder bag instead of using a handheld bag. Avoid remaining in the same position for extended periods of time.
- Wear shoes that fit correctly and support your feet entirely.
- Adjust your diet. Include rawer seeds like flax and pumpkin seeds, as well as fatty fish such as sardines and salmon to your diet. These health-promoting foods contain omega 3 fatty acids, which reduce tendon inflammation. Eat more legumes (peas, beans), increase your fresh fruit and vegetables consumption, and reduce foods, which are rich in animal fats, such as fatty meats like beef and pork. Avoid foods that contain hydrogenated oils and any high-fat dairy foods.
