Tendinitis are very common and diverse pathologies depending on the location, cause and duration. My first advice would be to consult your doctor as soon as possible if the symptoms of tendinitis do not go away with an ice application treatment, resting the joint and taking paracetamol (acetaminophen) or anti- nonsteroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as we have described. Indeed, if several months go by, the tendinopathy becomes chronic and much more difficult to treat. In my experience, after the first stage of treatment, rehabilitation by a physiotherapist (physiotherapist) is often effective in relieving pain, promoting tendon healing and preventing recurrence and chronicity.
