Tendinitis (cont.)

Outlook

  • With treatment and if you follow your doctor's instructions, pain and swelling should go away after a few days without further problems.

  • Recurrences can occur if there is continued overuse, but use of splints, proper technique during exercise, and muscle strengthening exercises can usually help.

  • Surgical decompression may be necessary if there is chronic inflammation causing other complications.
