It has worked for my level 8 chronic back pain. Like another poster mentioned though it can be expensive as you'll need repeat treatments for the effects to last. I got much more releif than I expected form just one treatment. But it only lasted about 2 days. \n\nvance

While an MRI may show some signs of inflammation associated with tendonitis, it wouldn't be of much use.  When a doctor orders an expensive test they have to think about a few things; will this confirm a diagnosis, will this rule out a diagnosis, will this change the way I am treating the patient.  In this case, the answer is pretty much no.  It seems that on the basis of exclusion you have been diagnosed with chronic tendonitis.  The best treatment for this is what you don't seem to want/can't do, which is rest.  In addition there are NSAIDs.  There is no great surgical solution.\n\nFrom here I think you two best options are to:\n\n1) Make an appointment with an orthopaedic surgeon with a good reputation.  You didn't mention they type of doctor you were seeing, so assuming it was primary care, it's time to see the specialist.\n\n2) What about taking a couple months off on disability just to see if the condition improves with rest?  I applaud your resistance to going on disability, but sometimes it's necessary.  Good luck.

There are a couple ways to do this, but they won't be cure-alls; just helps.  \n\nIbuprofen (Advil) is an NSAID, or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.  As the description says, it has anti-inflammatory (anti-swelling) properties, and it will help with pain.  More than likely, any other meds you are giving her do not contain ibuprofen or aspirin, but if they do, I wouldn't use this.\n\nBenadryl (Diphenhydramine) has properties which stop the body from reacting to irritants; that's why they use it for rashes, poison ivy, etc.  This would help as well, although it'll probably make her tired.  Diphenhydramine is the exact same drug used in the sleep aid Sominex.  (Yeah, Benadryl and Sominex are the same drug - rip off, eh?  Buy whichever is cheaper...actually, buy the cheap-o generics if they're available -- there really is no difference whatsoever.)\n\nThat's about all I can think of over the counter.  Other people may have good ideas as well, and I'd trust the advice of your doctor over anything you read on here.\n\nI'd use coldpacks, but I'd stay away from using heat; it dilates the blood vessels and may make the pain worse.  Heat is best for muscular pain.\n\nP.S. - Her age matters, too.  If we're talking about an infant here, I would go ONLY by the advice of your doctor.

unfortunately the best pain medication for these types of pain was taken off the market, and nonnarcotic mobic try buying a book from mayo clinic or a holistic health book for rheumatoid atrhitis it should have info about diet also I picked one up for my exboyfriend a couple years ago and it helped him tremendously a little lifestyle change goes a long way

Of course!  It is an anti-inflammatory so it will help with the tissue swelling as well as pain.

What you are describing is bursitis.  The bursa sack is like a pillow filled with fluid that is between the bones and keeps the area cushioned.  Should it be irritated or if the synovial fluid ruptures, you will get the effect of bone rubbing on bone.  Normally you can control this pain (and it is painful!) with over the counter meds; if you can take asprin, it reduces the swelling (as does Ibuoprophen-take both with food to prevent irritation of  your stomach) and tylenol-type meds reduce the pain, but not the irritation.  If it gets very difficult to deal with, you doctor  can give you a cortisone injection at the site.  I can tell you this is very painful, but sometimes it's worth it if you can't use your arm.  Be sure to observe how you sleep..suppor the affected arm with a pillow at night to relieve strain.  Hot/warm compresses or showers helps as does those new hot patches that stay warm for up to 8 hrs.  God Bless.

Tennis elbow is an overuse of the wrist extensor muscles that causes inflammation around the lateral side of the elbow.  I would suggest ice.  There are also straps that you could use that are similar to those used for patellar tendons that will also help relieve the pain.

you have made me remember a friend from 20 years ago who drove us crazy comp;aining about this condition i regret not being more understanding of the terrible pain she was experiencing at the time believe me the only thing that helped this dear friend was valium. if worse comes to worse try it because i personally witnessed a complete reversal of her condition when she started to take it,perhaps it works as a dental muscle relaxor or something like that i know the dentist here uses the valium for a lot of procedures anyway be well.

I only have anecdotal evidence. I've been treated with accupuncture for back & shoulder pain, and for a persistent numbness in my thigh. It has done absolutely nothing for me and, although single treatments are usually not very expensive, the costs can add up over time. \n\nWith respect to the thigh problem: I described it to several accupuncturists, who then treated me by sticking needles in various places. Nothing. The numbness never went away. I went to a Western MD who suggested that I stretch my leg a certain way and exercise it. That works. The numbness comes back, but the only person who treated me honestly, forthrightly, and with real attention to the condition was a regular old doctor.\n\nIf you're susceptible to suggestion and psychological manipulation, have lots of money, and want to get really anxious about someone sticking needles in you (though I admit, the pain is USUALLY slight or nonexistant), then I'd try it. If you want to get better, I'd go to an MD.

I tore my rotator cuff and tried every conventional therapy for it with dismal results. Out of near-desparation, I tried accupuncture. The old, wizened Chinese "doctor" treated me once a week for ten weeks. By the end of those ten weeks, my shoulder had recovered about 85% of its mobility, and I was completely pain-free! I don't know exactly how it works, but it sure worked for me and I recommend it.

Managing patellofemoral pain syndrome is a challenge, in part because of lack of consensus regarding its cause and treatment. Contributing factors include overuse and overload of the patellofemoral joint, biomechanical problems and muscular dysfunction. The initial treatment plan should include quadriceps strengthening and temporary activity modification. Additional exercises may be incorporated as dictated by the findings of the physical examination. Footwear should be closely evaluated for quality and fit, and the use of arch supports should be consideredBecause bending the knee increases the pressure between the patella and its various points of contact with the femur, patellofemoral pain syndrome is often classified as an overuse injury.4-8 However, a more appropriate term may be "overload," because the syndrome can also affect inactive patients. Repeated weight-bearing impact may be a contributing factor, particularly in runners.3 Steps, hills and uneven surfaces tend to exacerbate patellofemoral pain. Once the syndrome has developed, even prolonged sitting can be painful ("movie-goer's sign") because of the extra pressure between the patella and the femur during knee flexion.\nDedicated patients can often manage physical therapy on their own, with 20 minutes per day being a reasonable expectation. Guidance from a physical therapist can be helpful, but patients need to adhere to the therapist's recommended home program and should not expect overnight success. Patients may not experience improvement of symptoms for six weeks or much longer, and the syndrome may recurIce is the safest anti-inflammatory "medication," but its successful use requires discipline. Applying ice for 10 to 20 minutes after activity is reasonable. A common complaint is the inconvenience of holding an ice bag on the knee, but a simple elastic wrap solves this problem. A frozen gel pack, crushed ice in a plastic bag or a bag of frozen vegetables also work well.\n\nPatients with patellofemoral pain syndrome have not been conclusively shown to benefit from anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Although the same statement can be made about many treatments for patellofemoral pain, the drawback of NSAIDs is that their potential side effects may be more significant than any adverse effects of ice application or rehabilitative exercises. However, considering the convenience of NSAID therapy, a judicious trial may be worthwhile.\n\nSurgery for patellofemoral pain syndrome is considered a last resort. True chondromalacia (fraying of the retropatellar cartilage) may be amenable to an arthroscopic surgical procedure to smooth out the undersurface of the patella.35 Unfortunately, the chondromalacia may return.\nBefore the decision is made to perform a lateral release, other options and treatments should be considered. For example, the physician should consider whether the lateral tracking could simply be due to a tight iliotibial band or weak quadriceps muscles. Taping the knee to enhance medial glide should be tried. Having the patient wear a quality running shoe or arch support is another measure to try before surgery is contemplated. Although the lateral release is effective in a select group of patients, it is often considered an overused procedure, even among some orthopedic surgeonsAn initial conservative approach to patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome should include the following measures: (1) relative rest with consideration of a temporary change to nonimpact aerobic activity; (2) quadriceps strengthening; (3) evaluation of footwear; and (4) icing, especially after activity.\n\nDefinitive treatment should be individualized. The addition of hip strengthening and stretching or stretching of the iliotibial band, hamstrings and calves should be based on a physical examination. Consideration should also be given to use of over-the-counter or custom orthotics. Patient education is essential, and patients need to be given

I've suffered with it for over 30 years and haven't found anything yet.I do know that pain pills don't work on chronic pain like this.My doctor is talking about something called injection therapy.I haven't tried it yet but I'll try anything once.

I have not heard of it either. Sorry\n\nA good treatment option is also taking a combined supplement of glucosamine and chondrontin sulfates. They are both found naturally in cartliage and assist in protecting arthritic joints. They do not re-build the cartliage as this is impossible, but it certainly helps increase range of motion and functionality.\n\nParacetamol is also good for the pain.

NSAIDs and ice have been used for symptomatic treatment of plantar fasciitis, although no studies have been done to determine efficacy.\nCorticosteroid injections have been shown to improve symptoms at 1 month but not at 6 months. These injections have been shown to be associated with plantar fascia rupture and fat pad atrophy. These injections should be used conservatively and should probably be left to podiatrists for use, as NSAIDs would be proper first-line management in the ED.\nExtracorporeal shock-wave therapy (ESWT) has been used to treat plantar fasciitis. Although its efficacy is not definitively proven, it has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. The therapy bombards the tissue with high-pressure sound waves with its mechanism of action being to (1) stimulate blood flow for a beneficial immune response, (2) reinjure tissue to stimulate healing, and (3) shut down the neuronal pain pathways through the pulses hitting the affected nerves.\nSurgery for plantar release (open and endoscopic) has been used in extreme cases that are unresponsive to conservative treatments.\nDeterrence/Prevention:\n\n\nThe patient should decrease weightbearing activities (especially running), if possible.\nShoes inserts (both custom-made orthotics and prefabricated insoles) have been used in conjunction with stretching. No definitive evidence exists that one type of insole is better than another.\nNight splints made to hold the ankle in dorsiflexion and the toe in extension have been used. One Cochrane review found limited evidence in the use of night splints in patients with pain lasting 6 months.\nStretching is commonly used, but the exact benefits are unknown. One randomized control trial showed that there was greater improvement in pain with plantar fascia stretching as opposed to Achilles tendon stretching.\nCasts or splints holding the ankle in neutral to slight dorsiflexion have been investigated, although efficacy is controversial.\n\nGood website for info.
