Prognosis

  • 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.


  • Rarely, surgery may be needed if there is chronic inflammation causing other complications.
