Expectations (prognosis)
Symptoms improve with treatment and rest. If the injury is caused by overuse, a change in work habits may be indicated to prevent recurrence of the problem.
Complications
Recurrence of tendonitis
Chronic inflammation of the tendon predisposes it to further injury, such as rupture.
Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if symptoms of tendinitis occur.
Prevention
Avoid repetitive motion and overuse of an extremity
Warm up by exercising at a relaxed pace before engaging in vigorous activity
Keep all your muscles strong and flexible
