Sports Injury Symptoms

Tendonitis Symptoms

Since both tendons and bursae are located near joints, inflammation in these soft tissues can be mistaken for arthritis.

Symptoms of bursitis and tendonitis are similar: pain and stiffness aggravated by movement.

Pain may be prominent at night or after use.

Almost any tendon or bursa in the body can be affected, but those located around a joint are affected most often.

Tendonitis and bursitis are usually temporary conditions, but may become recurrent or chronic problems.

Unlike arthritis, they do not cause deformity, but can cause significant pain and restrain motion.

Bursitis Symptoms

Gradual swelling indicates a chronic or long-lasting condition.

Sudden swelling indicates a traumatic injury or an infection in the elbow.

Red, hot skin may indicate an infection.

Pain and tenderness is variable.

Motion may be limited if there was a traumatic injury to the elbow.

Tendonitis and Exercise
Tendonitis treatment must begin by avoiding aggravating movements.

Take a break from a favorite activity to allow the inflamed tendon to heal.

Try alternative activities, eg., If you are a runner with knee pain try swimming.

Bursitis and Exercise

Proper strengthening technique can help you avoid bursitis by using your muscles in a safe, more efficient manner, eg., shoulder bursitis you can learn ways to move the shoulder that will not cause inflammation. Do not begin exercises until the inflammation of bursitis has resolved!

Take Breaks and Warm Up Properly
Alternate repetitive tasks with breaks to relieve pressure. Don't perform one activity continuously for hours at a time. Warm up before exercise and stretch gently afterwards.

Cushion Your Joints
If your work involves an activity such as prolonged kneeling use protective cushions.
