Elbow
Tendonitis:
Also Known As Tennis Elbow or Golfer's Elbow
Tendonitis is characterized
by an inflammation of the tendons, which are the thick, fibrous
tissues that attach muscle to bone. Elbow tendonitis is one of the
most common forms of tendonitis because it is an area of the body
that undergoes a great deal of repetitive activity both through
work and physically related activities such as golf and tennis,
hence the nicknames tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow. These
two activities, in particular, illustrate the type of motion the
elbow undergoes that can easily result in elbow tendonitis.
Symptoms of Elbow Tendonitis:
- Pain (mainly at the back of the arm and
elbow) when attempting to extend the arm out straight
- Swelling and inflammation on the elbow
- Elbow stiffness
- Pain and stiffness after periods of inactivity
- Burning sensation at the point of injury
Treatments for Elbow Tendonitis:
You should begin by treating elbow tendonitis just as you would
with any muscle related injury. You should start by resting the
elbow, and try to elevate it as much as possible. You should also
apply ice and take an over the counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
medication (NSAID), such as ibuprofen, to help alleviate the pain.
Some people who have had elbow tendonitis have used natural remedies
to help prevent re-injury to the affected area. If you have tried
all of these methods of treatment and your elbow tendonitis hasn’t
subsided after a week or two, you may want to contact your physician
in order to make sure that there isn’t an underlying condition
that may be causing your pain.
