Medication
Some drugs could help treat Tendonitis. However, they must be prescribed by your doctor. And these medications are in different categories.
Pain relievers
There are some over-the-counter (O.T.C.) drugs that you could get to help ease the pain of Tendonitis. Taking aspirin, or ibuprofen [3], and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) [4] may reduce the discomfort that comes with Tendonitis. There are also some creams with anti-inflammatory medication that can be prescribed to you by your doctor; these creams are proven to be effective in relieving pains and have no side effects.
Platelet-rich plasma (P.R.P.)
A medical doctor can only do this treatment. Platelet-rich plasma (P.R.P.) [5] involves taking a sample of your blood and spinning the blood to separate the platelet and other factor healing factors. Doctors inject the area of tendon infection with P.R.P. This treatment has proven to be effective in treating Tendonitis.
Corticosteroids
Corticosteroids medication may be injected into the region of Tendonitis to relieve you of the pain. This medication helps to reduce the swelling and ease the pain. However, corticosteroids are not recommended to patients with chronic tendinitis, and tendinitis is considered chronic when it lasts for more than three months. This is because the injection could weaken the tendon and cause it to rupture.
