Achilles tendinitis

Overview

Achilles tendinitis is a condition that occurs when the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone, becomes inflamed. This can cause pain and stiffness in the back of the ankle and can make it difficult to walk, run, or perform other activities that involve the lower legs. The Achilles tendon is one of the strongest and largest tendons in the body, and it plays a critical role in allowing us to move our feet and ankles. However, it is also prone to injury, particularly in athletes and people who engage in activities that involve repetitive jumping or running. Achilles tendinitis can be caused by a variety of factors, including overuse, improper footwear, tight calf muscles, and sudden increases in physical activity. People who are middle-aged or older, as well as those who are overweight or have certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, are also at an increased risk of developing Achilles tendinitis. Treatment for Achilles tendinitis typically involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), as well as physical therapy exercises to help strengthen the calf muscles and improve flexibility. In some cases, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be prescribed to help reduce pain and inflammation. Severe cases of Achilles tendinitis may require more aggressive treatments, such as immobilization in a cast or brace, corticosteroid injections, or even surgery. However, most people are able to recover from Achilles tendinitis with proper treatment and management.

Symptoms

The symptoms of Achilles tendinitis may vary from person to person, but common symptoms include: - Pain and stiffness in the back of the ankle, especially when walking or running - Swelling or tenderness in the area around the Achilles tendon - Difficulty flexing or pointing the foot - A crunchy or crackling sound when moving the ankle - Pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest - Mild to moderate pain after exercise or physical activity If left untreated, Achilles tendinitis can lead to more serious injuries, such as a ruptured tendon, which may require surgical intervention. If you experience any of the above symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention to determine the best course of treatment.

When to see a doctor

It is recommended to see a doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms: - Severe pain and swelling in the back of the ankle - Inability to bear weight on the affected leg - A popping or snapping sound at the time of injury - A feeling of a gap or indentation in the tendon - Redness, warmth, or fever in the affected area - Numbness or tingling in the foot or ankle - Recurring or persistent pain in the Achilles tendon that does not improve with rest or home remedies If you have any of these symptoms, you should seek immediate medical attention, as they may be indicative of a more serious injury or condition. In general, it is always a good idea to consult a doctor if you have any concerns about your health or if you are experiencing pain or discomfort that does not go away on its own.

Causes

Achilles tendinitis can be caused by several factors, including: - Overuse: Repeated strain on the Achilles tendon due to high-impact activities like running, jumping, or dancing can cause small tears in the tendon that eventually lead to tendinitis. - Tight calf muscles: Tightness in the calf muscles can put additional stress on the Achilles tendon, leading to tendinitis. - Improper footwear: Shoes that do not provide adequate support, cushioning, or shock absorption can increase the risk of developing Achilles tendinitis. - Sudden increase in physical activity: Starting a new exercise routine or increasing the intensity or duration of an existing one too quickly can put excessive strain on the Achilles tendon and cause tendinitis. - Age: As people age, their tendons become less flexible and more prone to injury. - Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis, and high blood pressure, can increase the risk of developing Achilles tendinitis. - Medications: Certain medications, such as fluoroquinolone antibiotics, can increase the risk of developing tendinitis. It is important to note that not all cases of Achilles tendinitis have a specific cause, and sometimes it may develop without an obvious trigger.

Risk factors

There are several risk factors that can increase the likelihood of developing Achilles tendinitis, including: - Age: As mentioned earlier, as people age, their tendons become less flexible and more prone to injury. - Sex: Men are more likely than women to develop Achilles tendinitis. - Physical activity: People who engage in high-impact activities, such as running and jumping, are at an increased risk of developing Achilles tendinitis. - Footwear: Wearing shoes that do not provide adequate support, cushioning, or shock absorption can increase the risk of developing Achilles tendinitis. - Tight calf muscles: Tightness in the calf muscles can put additional stress on the Achilles tendon, leading to tendinitis. - Obesity: Being overweight or obese puts additional stress on the Achilles tendon and can increase the risk of developing tendinitis. - Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis, and high blood pressure, can increase the risk of developing Achilles tendinitis. - Medications: Certain medications, such as fluoroquinolone antibiotics, can increase the risk of developing tendinitis. It is important to note that having one or more of these risk factors does not necessarily mean that a person will develop Achilles tendinitis, but it can increase their likelihood of developing the condition.

Complications

If left untreated, Achilles tendinitis can lead to more serious complications, including: - Tendon rupture: The Achilles tendon can rupture or tear completely if it is subjected to excessive stress or strain, especially in people who have untreated or chronic Achilles tendinitis. - Limited mobility: Achilles tendinitis can cause pain and stiffness, making it difficult to move the ankle joint and perform daily activities. - Chronic pain: In some cases, Achilles tendinitis can become chronic and lead to long-term pain and discomfort. - Infection: In rare cases, Achilles tendinitis can become infected, leading to further complications and requiring antibiotics or surgical intervention. - Tendinosis: Prolonged Achilles tendinitis can lead to degeneration of the tendon tissue, known as tendinosis, which can be more difficult to treat than tendinitis. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect that you have Achilles tendinitis to prevent the condition from progressing to more serious complications. Early intervention and treatment can help to prevent the development of chronic pain or long-term mobility issues. Read the full article

Hamstrings are a group of muscles present at the back of thigh. They extend from the sit bones in pelvis to just below the knee joint and play an important an important role is daily activities such as walking & running. The names of the individual three muscles included in hamstrings are semimembranosus, biceps femoris and the semitendinosus. These, work in opposition to the muscles in the front of the thigh (quadriceps) and the two group of muscles together stabilize movements of the knee and pelvis.

Vindicated (I'm not selfish, I'm not wrong)

I’m not sure how long I’ve been dealing with right shoulder pain and instability, but I remember it was already a known, old issue when I started working at the museum in September 2022. So let’s say it’s been 18 months. It’s probably been longer, but my memory is shit.

When I first mentioned it to a doctor in late summer 2022, she told me to take up weightlifting to strengthen my rotator cuff and help with weight loss (a problem for which I was not seeking advice). She did not offer specific advice to help me do that, and then shortly thereafter, she left for a different practice out west. I got switched to a different doctor, who failed to send a referral to PT for three months despite several reminders. When she transferred to another office in December 2022, I was blessedly assigned to my current doctor, who both listens to me and sends referrals and prescriptions out in a prompt manner. He had me in PT by the end of January.

I worked on my shoulder in PT until mid-April, when insurance refused to pay for more sessions, citing that my condition was stable. This was true, I did hit a plateau in my progress then--but my arm still hurt constantly, I could still feel what felt like bones shifting around when I moved, my range of motion was bad, and my shoulder would still “slip out” and lock up a few times a day, leaving me unable to lift my arm higher than my chest. Still, insurance said if I wanted more PT, I needed to see an orthopedic specialist and get a diagnosis that would qualify me for more sessions.

Seeing an ortho took a few weeks. I eventually got into a community orthopedics clinic at the end of May. The doctor I saw there was hyper focused on my weight and my self-harm scars, which he mentioned several times AND wrote about in my chart. He diagnosed me with “too fat and out of shape to lift her own arm,” essentially. He said all I needed was to keep doing the home exercises I’d been given in PT to strengthen my rotator cuff and soon I’d be all better. He said I didn’t need more imaging.

So I did those fucking exercises all summer. And yet, nothing improved. In fact, the pain and instability increased. It felt like my shoulder was becoming dislocated upwards of 20 times a day, leaving me unable to move my arm without severe pain. Whenever it happened, I’d have to physically push on my collar bone to get my arm working again. All summer and into the fall I muttered “my insurance company says I’m fine” every time I had to fix my shoulder, take OTC painkillers (that I’m not supposed to use because of my kidney function), or couldn’t sleep because of pain.

My insurance company’s treatment plan didn’t work out, surprisingly. I repeatedly found myself in tears due to the pain that simple motions cause me. My shoulder ached at a constant 4-5 on the pain scale, and the pain radiated into my collar bone, my top rib, and down to my wrist. If I moved my arm wrong, I’d drop what I was holding. I started walking around just constantly shaking my arm trying to get the joint to settle in a less painful way. There was no less painful way.

My primary doctor finally took pity on me in September and ordered the MRI that the ortho didn’t think I needed. It took 3 months to get an appointment. Three more months of grinding pain, tears caused by simple motions, and frustration at my useless body. Three more months of telling myself to toughen up and stop being a baby. Three more months of people rolling their eyes because I was being so dramatic about “a little joint pain.”

Well, I  finally got in for my scan Wednesday. The results posted Thursday morning.

The MRI that ortho did not think I needed showed the following: 

Superior tear of the right shoulder labrum.

Posterior tear of the right shoulder labrum.

Anterior tear of the right shoulder labrum.

AC joint degeneration.

Fluid in the AC joint. 

Tendinopathy in 2 tendons of the rotator cuff.

The labrum is what keeps the shoulder joint stable. Mine is torn in 3 places. Which means, all these months I’ve been saying, “It feels like my shoulder is dislocating constantly and the bones are grinding together”, they WERE. That is EXACTLY what has been happening. The bones that make up my shoulder joint are so loosely connected that they are slipping all over the place, causing injury to nearby muscles, tendons, and ligaments. 

For 18 months. At least.

I now have an urgent appointment scheduled with an orthopedic surgeon, because I might need surgery. Physical activity is a no-go until I’ve been evaluated and cleared for PT, and PT has to be done  incredibly carefully if I can even do it.

I’ve been actively trying to get this taken care of for a year, during which I’ve been in constant, grinding pain, sleep deprived due to being woken up all night by pain, and damaging my kidneys by taking the forbidden NSAIDs. I’ve made changes to my wardrobe--I wear front close bras only, now. I’ve changed how I sleep--used to sleep on the right side, now it's the left side only. 

And all of this could have been avoided if someone had taken me seriously last September.

Which is infuriating.

But also. The VINDICATION I feel.

I want to rub my MRI in the face of every person who rolled their eyes at me for “whining about a little joint pain.” I want to staple it to the forehead of the doctors who told me I just needed to lose weight. I want to put in on my refrigerator and point to it every time my sister implies I’m being dramatic or lying when I say I can’t do something, like put dishes on the top shelf or carry a heavy box.

Fuck all of them. Fuck every person who told me “just take some Aleve and get over it, it’s just joint pain, welcome to getting older.” Fuck every person who expected 100% from me on days my arm bones were grinding together and I had pain radiating to my wrist and my sternum. 

Including me! Fuck me and my stupid need to persevere! I’ve pushed myself so hard the last year, because “I’m not going to let a little pain stop me!” even though “a little pain” sometimes had me crying and stopping would have prevented that. Yeah, I was failed by a lot of doctors, but I think it’s also partly my own fault that the damage is as bad as it is--I should have set more boundaries and had the backbone to listen to what my body was saying instead of people pleasing and trying not to make waves.

Fuck grinning and bearing it. Fuck putting up with pain because it’s easier for everyone else. Fuck doubting myself and taking the word of doctors over my own lived experiences. Doctors know medicine. I know how much this pain is affecting me. If we worked together, imagine what we could accomplish! 

Yeah.

On a different note, I have more pictures of the inside of me.

Gross.

[mcatmemoranda]

I had a pt in clinic today who had a UTI. I haven't actually treated a male outpt with UTI yet. All the ones I've treated have been in the hospital with IV ceftriaxone. Anyway, for men, their UTIs are always complicated. There is concern for prostatitis as a complication. So my pt had an IM ceftiaxone dose and then was prescribed PO ciprofloxacin 500 mg bid x7 days. His urine culture showed pansensitive E. coli. He also had a CBC at the previous visit where he had a leukocytosis to 14.2. His repeat UA in office today showed WBCs and he has a repeat urine culture and CBC pending. Because of concern for prostatitis, we continued antibiotics. Because of side effects of fluoroquinolones (tendinopathy), I decided to use TMP-SMX instead. You may need to treat UTI for 4 weeks. So I'm having my pt take TMP-SMX x4 weeks.

This is from UpToDate:

Exploring the Benefits and Applications of ESWT Shock Wave Therapy

Extracorporeal Eswt Shock Wave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment method gaining popularity across various medical disciplines for its efficacy in treating a range of musculoskeletal and soft tissue conditions. This innovative therapy utilizes acoustic waves to stimulate healing processes within the body, offering patients a promising alternative to surgery or traditional therapies.

Understanding ESWT Shock Wave Therapy

ESWT operates on the principle of acoustic waves generated outside the body and focused on the targeted tissue area. These waves deliver mechanical energy to the tissues, promoting increased blood flow, tissue regeneration, and reduced inflammation. Originally developed to disintegrate kidney stones, its application has expanded to orthopedics, sports medicine, urology, and even dermatology.

Applications and Conditions Treated

In orthopedics and sports medicine, ESWT has shown significant promise in treating conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, and rotator cuff tendinopathy. The therapy effectively breaks down calcifications, stimulates collagen production, and enhances tissue healing. Patients often experience reduced pain and improved mobility after a series of treatments.

In urology, ESWT is utilized to break up kidney stones without the need for invasive surgery, offering a less traumatic and faster recovery option for patients. Furthermore, in dermatology, it has been adapted to treat conditions like chronic wounds and certain types of scars, demonstrating its versatility across medical specialties.

Advantages of ESWT

One of the main advantages of ESWT is its non-invasive nature. Unlike surgical procedures, ESWT does not require incisions or anesthesia, minimizing the risks associated with invasive interventions. It also boasts a relatively short recovery period, allowing patients to resume their normal activities sooner.

Additionally, ESWT is generally well-tolerated by patients. Treatment sessions are typically brief, lasting approximately 15 to 30 minutes depending on the condition being treated. Many patients report significant pain relief and improvement in symptoms after just a few sessions, making it a preferred choice for those seeking non-pharmacological and non-surgical treatment options.

Considerations and Future Directions

While ESWT has shown promising results across various conditions, its efficacy can vary depending on factors such as the patient's condition severity and overall health. As with any medical treatment, it is essential for patients to consult with qualified healthcare providers to determine if ESWT is suitable for their specific needs.

Looking ahead, ongoing research continues to explore new applications of ESWT and refine treatment protocols. Advances in technology and a growing body of clinical evidence are expected to further enhance the therapy's effectiveness and expand its use in medical practice.

Rotator cuff injuries are the most common cause of shoulder pain in the UK. The cuff consists of four muscles and their tendons. Together, they work to allow shoulder movement and stabilise the joint. The shoulder is technically a ball and socket joint where the top of the humerus (upper arm bone) moves on a small flat surface on the side of the shoulder blade (scapula). There is a small space above the top of the humerus called the subacromial space where most problems can occur and some of the tendons pass through this space. Also located within this space is a tiny fluid filled sac called a bursa which is designed to cushion the tendons as they pass through. Any damage to the cuff muscles, the bursa or tendons can cause this space to become inflamed and/or restricted.

The main conditions that affect the rotator cuff are tendinopathy and tears. The tendon may become acutely inflamed and this may be a reaction to an overload or there may be some degeneration that can occur within the substance of the tendon. Tears are usually a result of trauma or wear and tear over time.

The symptoms with rotator cuff injuries will vary. Often people will experience pain in the shoulder area and this may radiate down the arm. This is often reproduced when lifting the arm. Sometimes the arm can be painful at night especially when lying on the affected side. There may also be a restriction getting the arm behind the back. The pain can be quite debilitating and affect peoples lifestyles and sporting activities. If you suspect you have a rotator cuff problem then your GP will be able to assess and refer you for treatment. Sometimes an MRI or ultrasound scan may help to diagnose the problem. There are numerous treatments to help alleviate the pain from a rotator cuff injury. These may include rest, exercises and physical therapy treatments. Physiotherapy intervention may include massage, site specific mobilisations for the tendon, exercises and posture re-education.
