  Well first let me say what tendonitis is. There can be confusion about it. Tendon is muscle connected to bone. So at the end of the muscle, that’s where the tendon is and then the tendon ultimately attaches to the bone. -Itis infers that it’s an inflammation problem, when in fact most tendonitis is really what we call tendonosis because it ends up being a chronic problem. Usually in the first few weeks or maybe the first month we might call it tendonitis. After that it really is not an inflammatory problem, but it’s more of a tissue break down problem and then we call it tendonosis. […] Frequently that’s the case and generally the older the patient is, the longer it can take to go away. But even sometimes with prolonged rest, as soon as somebody goes back to doing their usual activity, the tendonosis problem comes back again.

• #5 Tendonitis in Children | Causes, Types, & Treatment

  https://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/health/t/tendonitis-in-children

  Tendonitis happens when a tendon—the strong cord that connects muscle to bone—becomes inflamed or irritated. This can cause pain and swelling, making it hard for your child to move comfortably. Tendonitis often occurs due to repeated activities, overuse or sudden injuries. […] If tendonitis is not properly managed, it can become tendinosis. Tendinosis is a more serious, chronic condition that happens due to overuse and not enough time for the tendon to heal. Scar tissue can then develop, causing chronic pain and reduced function. This condition can take much longer to heal. Treatment can take several months. […] Tendonitis treatment starts with resting the area that hurts. Your child should stop any activity that causes pain. Physical therapy or home exercises may be recommended to help correct improper body movement. Ice and anti-inflammatory medication can help relieve pain and swelling while your child rests. In severe cases, if not treated, tendonitis can lead to tendon rupture, which may need surgery.

  https://www.hss.edu/condition-list_tendonitis.asp

  Tendonitis is a general term to describe inflammation of a tendon, a thick, rope-like tissue that attaches a bone to a muscle. Tendonitis differs from arthritis, which refers to inflammation of a joint. It is one of the most common causes of soft-tissue, musculoskeletal pain. […] The first line of treatment for tendonitis involves the RICE protocol, which stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. The quicker your tendonitis is treated, the quicker you will recover to full strength and flexibility. Tendonitis usually responds to nonsurgical care. Surgery may be needed only in select cases. […] If pain does not improve in a few days, see your doctor, who may prescribe physical therapy to work on the flexibility and strength of the involved tendon, and possibly modify mechanics (how one performs the physical activity). Additionally, a local cortisone shot (an injection of corticosteroids) may help decrease the pain. As a last resort, if the symptoms are not resolved, surgical options may be necessary. […] It is important that you do not to return to exercising until your symptoms have resolved. Your physical therapist or doctor can recommend proper stretching and strengthening techniques. They may also advise you to modify your biomechanics (how you perform certain activities).

  The one thing that all these options have in common is they do something to disturb the tissue. So it gets in a chronic pattern where it won’t heal itself and we need to do something to disturb that tendon to try to get the body to feel like it’s an acute injury so that it can ultimately heal itself. […] Early on the treatments are conservative, later on they can become more interventional. Some of the early treatments of course are just rest and ice, and relative rest. […] Frequently people take anti-inflammatories and they’re helpful for the pain, but they’re not really helpful for healing. In fact there are some studies that show that they may actually slow down healing. […] One of the common things is when one of these treatments is done, is it going to instantly be better? And the answer to that is no. So some of that might be lowering the expectation. Because again, really the body still has to heal itself.
