3.Diagnosis
Tell your doctor about your medical history and joint injuries. They’ll want to know where it hurts, if it tingles, or gets better when you rest. They’ll examine the joint and might bend it to see if that makes the pain worse. Tell them about changes in your work or exercise routines, which could be a cause. This is usually enough to know if it’s tendinosis, but in some cases you may need blood tests or imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs.
4.Early Treatment
The quicker you start, the better it will work. Give your joint a rest and try to stop activities that make you feel worse. When your symptoms flare up, ice the injured or painful spot for 20 minutes at a time. Over-the-counter medications like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can also help.
