Rest is the most important treatment, and keeping weight off the area. You can also apply ice to the sore area for 20 minutes three or four times a day to relieve your symptoms. Often a doctor will prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen. A program of home exercises to stretch your Achilles tendon and plantar fascia are the mainstay of treating the condition and lessening the chance of recurrence. \nYou can read and see the exercises that can be done here  \nhttp://orthoinfo.aaos.org/fact/thr_report.cfm?Thread_ID=144&topcategory=Foot

For me, Tylenol Extra Strength (Geltabs) work the best and fast!\nAspirin and Ibuprofen also work, depending on the location and severity of pain.

unfortunately the best pain medication for these types of pain was taken off the market, and nonnarcotic mobic try buying a book from mayo clinic or a holistic health book for rheumatoid atrhitis it should have info about diet also I picked one up for my exboyfriend a couple years ago and it helped him tremendously a little lifestyle change goes a long way

well well...this happens to me frequently because i am a marathon runner....some day you practice too much and this situation arises...\nnow the thing is that  how do you feel comfortable...by streaching the tendon or by relaxing it...means...when do you get no pain...??\nthen apply some spray or cream which will provide with heat...so that it will get more blood and will heal fast....and eat an increased amt of protine...just now dont move youe part of body where the tendon is much...just le it relax...and if possible wound it with some streachable cloth...and make it keep at the same position...do this may e after one day of injury....\nsee ya ....hope you get this repaired...

I teach my patients to stretch their gastroc soleus complex (calves). Find some stairs. Place the balls of your feet on the edge of the step and lower your heels (while holding a railing or a wall). If you have them, stick some golf balls in the freezer overnight, roll your feet on them: this breaks up the adhesions in the plantar fascia while the cold acts as a natural anti-inflammatory. You could try the stretch found here http://brightsurf.com/news/headlines/27263/Heel_to_heal.html. \nOr try to find a chiropractor certified to practice Active Release Technique to break up the adhesions more thoroughly (should take under 6 treatments) at Activerelease.com and search sor a provider in your area.

IT COULD BE A TORN LIGAMENT OR A TORN MUSCLE......THE STRETCHING IS LOOSENING UP THE MUSCLE...TRY HEAT FOR 20 MIN...THEN COLD PACK FOR 20 MIN...LET IT REST......DO NOT DO THE CURLS FOR A WEEK OR SO...LET IT REST....AND KEEP USING THE HEAT/COLD...ALSO TRY TIGER BALM....IT IS IN THE HEALTH FOOD STORES.....AND IT IS VERY HEALING ON MUSCLES AND JOINTS........IF YOU KEEP USING IT (AREA)...IT WILL NOT HEAL..THE ITCHING IS BECAUSE IT IS TRYING TO HEAL......YOU COULD BE CAUSING PERMANENT DAMAGE IF YOU DO NOT REST IT.    HEAT & COLD ARE THE 2 KEYS TO MOST INJURIES OF TORN MUSCLES AND LIGIMENTS.\nALSO DON'T DO ANY HEAVY LIFTING......THAT CAN MAKE IT WORSE.  IF IT KEEPS HURTING AFTER 2 WEEKS.....GET A 2ND OPINION (DOCTOR / CHYROPRACTOR)\n\nJoint, Muscle and Tendon Injuries \n\n\nMost of us have experienced a sprain or strain at some time during our lives. Injuries to muscles, tendons and joints are common. Maybe you slipped on an icy sidewalk, turned a screwdriver with too much force, or after months of inactivity, you started an exercise program and now feel stiff and sore all over. Exercise-induced injuries are adding to the accidental joint, muscle and tendon injury statistics. Baby boomers are participating in sports and exercise activities more than ever before. As a result, sports-related injuries for this group have increased by over 33 percent in the last decade. Health club memberships for people over the age of 55 have increased by 300 percent. Accordingly, injuries for this age group have skyrocketed. More than 10 million sports injuries are treated each year in North America.\n\nSYMPTOMS\nWe know we have injured a joint, muscle or tendon because pain is the main symptom. There are many different types of injuries: sprains, strains, tendinitis, meniscal tears, osteochondritis dissicans, chondromalacia and bursitis, to name a few. Many components make up joints, protect the skeleton and ensure we have mobility. Muscles are bundles of fibers that contract. They are attached to bones. Tendons are tough bands of connective tissue that attach each end of a muscle to a bone. Ligaments surround joints and connect one bone to another. Bursas are fluid-filled sacs found at sites where friction occurs; they provide cushioning between structures. All of these components can become injured. \n\nA sprain involves either a stretched or torn ligament, the elastic tissue that connects bones to one another. Symptom severity depends on the extent of the damage, and can include pain, a popping or snapping sound when the injury occurred, inflammation with pain, swelling and fluid build-up in the area and an inability to put weight on the affected limb. A strain is the result of a partial or completely torn muscle. \n\nTendinitis is an inflammation of a tendon, the fibrous cords that connect muscles to bones. Tendons of the hands are especially prone to inflammation. Trigger finger, where the finger tendon becomes inflamed and does not move as smoothly (often causing a popping sound), is a common type of tendinitis. The Achilles tendon in the heel and the tendons of the rotator cuff are also areas that can suffer tendinitis. Those with rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and gout can also develop inflammation in the sheaths that surround the tendons, causing extreme pain and lack of mobility.\n\nMeniscal injury of the knee involves a tear to the meniscus. The knee pops when injured. It can be extremely painful and fluid may build up in and around the knee. A meniscal injury is often associated with a severe sprain.\n\nOsteochondritis dessicans (OCD) happens when a bit of bone or cartilage weakens or breaks off from the end of the bone. OCD is common in teens whose bones are still growing. Symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness, or a catching or popping sound in the joint.\n\nChondromalacia occurs when the cartilage in the knee softens. This can be caused by overuse (it is common in runners), injury or weak muscles supporting the knee. Pain w

Do not throw the shot put for atleast a weak. Get a brace that restrains you from bending your wrist and use warm towel therapy in the evenings. Aleve would be a good pain medication, as it sounds as if you might have slight joint damage. If it isnt better in a week, you might have to go to the doctor. If you absolutely do not want to go, then get your trainer to tape it up good!

Since tendons have a decent blood supply, they'll take a while, but not too long, to recover. I'd say in about 4-6 more weeks you'll be completely recovered.\n\nThere's no risk of breaking the tendon by weight, but you could collapse against it and fall and break something else. Or, if during the surgery, they stitched it, by putting weight on it you could break the stitches. Just don't put weight on it.\n\nNo real vitamins help, but if you'd want real help on that, go see your doctor or a nutrition specialist. I don't think that vitamins will really help tendons though.\n\nWhatever happens, just remember to take the time recovering. Don't try to rush yourself. I did that when i broke my leg in 5 places at once, and since then, my leg hasn't been perfect.

Tylenol or Motrin.  A gel ice pack helps too. This type of pain is temporary and the results are worth it in the long run.

Go to a doctor immediately.  I had something similar happen to me as a teen.  What I didn't know is I tore a tendon right off the bone.  My other tendons compensated and over the years started snapping off one by one.  Each time I'd be in horrible pain and couldn't walk right for a few weeks.  In my 30's my wife finally got sick of me complaining so she made me go to the doctor.  One MRI later and we found all I had left was one tendon.  The large one in front.  They had to cut me open.  They sliced the strips from the big tendon and reattached them to my knee.  Two months of painful physical therapy later and my leg won't straighten the whole way.\nThe plus side is I don't occasionally fall without warning.\nLet this be a cautionary tale.  Get to a doctor.  Better safe than sorry.

Yeah, it sounds like tendinitis. I got it in my elbow from surfing. It hurts like heck. The doctor told me to keep it immobilized in a sling for 6 weeks. That was damn near impossible to do but I managed a couple weeks in the sling and then I just made sure not to over use it for a while. It healed up and never came back. But if you keep up with the same routine without giving your tendons a chance to heal you can really mess things up, at which point you'll need surgery. Take it easy for a while and allow yourself to heal up. I suppose icing/heating it might help with the discomfort.\n\nI'd be very careful about taking anti-inflammatories. Not only are they terrible for your body (kidneys and liver) but they do not aid the healing process. They will simply reduce your swelling which will help relieve the pain and increase your mobility, but in turn can set you up for way bigger problems down the road. It will allow you to use your damaged tendons when they should be at rest and you'll make everything worse. Unfortunately, swelling is your body's natural way of immobilizing a joint so it can heal.

RICE -- Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Really, the only way to heal a sprain (which is a stretch or a tear of a ligament), or a strain (which is a pulled muscle) is to rest. Continuing to exercise will only irritate the affected area more, and lengthen the healing time. \n\nSprains can be very serious injuries, resulting in a complete tear of the ligament. If you continue to have trouble walking or moving the joint, or the swelling has not gone down, see a doctor. \n\nYou can also take over the counter anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs - Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) to help reduce swelling and control pain. Common ones include ibuprofen and Aleve. \n\nYou can help to avoid sprains and strains by stretching thoroughly before and after exercise, and being aware of your body and its limitations.

First, try to treat it before it has become chronic. Once it takes hold, it's really hard to get rid of it without long-term rest--as much as 6 months.\nOtherwise, here are some treatments that work:\nIce the elbow immediately after use.\nUse a tennis elbow band--the one I know works well is BandiT. I've used several and that one really is effective.\nDo stretching exercises. A good one is to put a reasonably thick rubber band around your fingers and stretch them outwards. Do various extension/flexion and pronation/supination exercises--see illustrations at the site below.\nEquipment--be sure that you don't have your racket strung too tightly. I dramtically decreased string tension when I was having a problem, and it made a huge difference. Also avoid extremes in grip sizes. Some also say that the racket material can make a difference as well as the racket head size. Sometimes just switching to another racket can help to give your elbow a rest.\nVery important--if your elbow problem is caused by poor mechanics, which often is the case, you really need to make corrections for long-term relief. Otherwise, each time your elbow recovers it will immediately get worse because of the stress due to poor technique. See a knowledgeable pro about this.

stop the wanking\n\nyou could also talk to your doctor\n\nyou could also use some over the counter arthritis medication, it works really well.  i have tendinitis in my ankle and use bayer or doans or other stuff and it works just fine

glucosamine and condrodine. that is what i use. it takes about a month (sometimes two) for it to do some good. I've also heard that eating hot peppers helps with the pain.

Tendonitis in the patellar tendon (Jumpers knee) can be relieved during activity by placing a piece of tape firmly around the knee just under the tip of the patella (knee cap).  You tape all the way around the knee.  Ice and rest it and if it begins to hurt during an activity, stop doing it.  Since I am not a doctor, I can not give advice on medications, ask your pharmacists about over the counter antiinflammatories or see your doctor.  Gentle stretching may help and once it's cleared up you might want to try a little strength training for the quads to see if it may help prevent it.  \n\nI would encourage you to see a doctor because they can give you a definite diagnosis.  It may be patellofemoral syndrome (in which case you may need to stretch the IT band and strengthen the inside of your quads), it may be a meniscal tear, ligament injury, bursitis.  It is much easier to treat when you have a definite diagnosis.
