Forearms extend from the elbow (elbow) to the wrist. In each joint at the ends of the forearms are tendons to help the joint function and maintain bone and muscle function. When you have forearm tendinitis, you get inflammation in the tendons that connect your elbow to your forearm and wrist. If you suspect that you have tendinitis, you need to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. On the other hand, you can assess forearm tendinitis as soon as you feel pain or discomfort in your forearm.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Observe symptoms

1. 

   Watch for forearm tendinitis. You can feel the tendonitis pain around the tendons that connect to the bone near the elbow. Some of the most common names for tendonitis are the tennis elbow and the Golfer's Elbow. The following symptoms may be forearm tendonitis:
   • Mild swelling in the forearms
   • Painful sensation with activity and when pressing on forearm tendons
   • Dull pain
   • Frequent pain when moving hands with forearm tendinitis

2. 

   
   
   See if you have a keroid inflammation in your arm bone. The medical term for a convex in the arm is Medial Epicondylitis. The pain that develops inside the elbow is caused by a muscular inflammation - the muscle that helps the elbow flex. Putting too much pressure on the tendons through repetitive motions increases the risk of osteomyelitis. Symptoms include:
   • The pain starts in the elbow and then spreads to the lower arm
   • Arm stiffness
   • Pain that gets worse when wrist flexing and bending
   • Pain worsens with certain movements such as opening the jar or shaking hands

3. 

   
   
   See if you have an osteomalacia. Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) is an inflammation of the outer part of the elbow. The pain arises from repetitive movements involving the stretching muscles - the muscles that help straighten the elbows. Symptoms of osteomyelitis usually start as mild discomfort, then gradually turn into intense pain months afterward. There are no apparent injuries or accidents contributing to this pain. Common symptoms of osteomyelitis include:
   • Pain or burning sensation outside the elbows and under the forearms
   • Weak grip force
   • Symptoms worsened by overuse of the involved muscles, e.g. when playing racket sports, wrench or shaking hands

Method 2 of 3: Consider the cause of the arm tendonitis

1. 

   
   
   Determine if the symptom is present in one or both arms. For any tendinitis, the dominant arm is more likely to be affected, but it is possible that both arms are affected. Tendinitis will appear in the part of the tendons that you pressurize most often.
   • Tendinitis can also occur in tendons that control stretching or flexing (straightening or flexing), but rarely occurs at the same time. Repeated movements that put the most pressure on a stretch or flexural tendon cause tendinitis.

2. 

   Identify repetitive movements that can contribute to osteomyelitis. Extra-arm osteitis usually occurs if you put pressure on an object with your elbow stretched. Extra-arm bulging is usually caused by playing tennis, but using a light racket and hitting your back arm with both hands will help reduce the risk of this. Some other things that can cause osteomyelitis include:
   • Lift heavy objects or use heavy tools repeatedly
   • Works involving manipulation or twisting, or movements that require precision
   • New or unfamiliar movements, such as first cleaning of the yard, holding a baby or cleaning and moving house.

3. 

   Identify repetitive movements that can contribute to keratitis in the arm. Although it is named after the sport of golf, it can also be caused by other sports, including those involving grabbing and / or throwing, for example baseball, soccer, archery or javelin. Some other actions that can cause convex meningitis include:
   • Perform repetitive elbow tasks, including using a computer, gardening, felling trees, or drawing
   • Use a vibrator
   • Use a racket that is too small or too heavy for your ability, or perform an overly swing ball
   • Participate in activities that are more than 1 hour repetitive, for days in a row, such as lifting weights, cooking, nailing nails, hoeing or cutting wood

Method 3 of 3: Treatment of tendinitis of the arm

1. 

   Seek immediate treatment. Although not life-threatening, forearm tendinitis can prevent you from participating in activities or doing things for weeks or months due to pain and discomfort. If left untreated, tendinitis can increase the risk of tendon rupture. This is a more serious condition in need of tendon rehabilitation surgery.
   • If the tendinitis persists for months, you will experience tendon degeneration, which negatively affects the tendons and causes abnormal growth in new blood vessels.
   • Long-term complications of osteoblastitis can lead to recurrent trauma, tendon rupture, and difficult surgical or non-surgical recovery due to pinched nerve in the forearm.
   • Complications of long-term convex meningitis can lead to chronic pain, limited movement, and persistent or persistent elbow curvature.

2. 

   Seek medical attention. If you suspect that you have tendinitis, you need to see a doctor for evaluation and treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment will help to treat forearm tendinitis more successful.
   • To diagnose forearm tendonitis, your doctor will carefully check the information of your medical history and conduct a physical exam.
   • Your doctor may do an x-ray if you ever had an injury before the pain occurred.

3. 

   Discuss treatment with your doctor. After the diagnosis, your doctor will recommend treatment to relieve pain and improve arm movement.Follow your doctor's instructions about the treatment of tendinitis and carefully ask questions about treatment.
   • Your doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation in your forearms, relieve pain, and improve arm function.
   • You may need to wear a brace to support your forearm and reduce pressure on the muscles and tendons. A brace helps to keep the forearm in place or support the forearm, depending on the severity.
   • Your doctor may inject corticosteroids around the forearm tendons to reduce inflammation and pain. However, if the disease persists for more than 3 months, multiple corticosteroid injections can weaken the tendons and increase the risk of tendon rupture.

4. 

   Ask your doctor about plasma therapy. Platelet-rich plasma treatment is the process of taking blood and rotating to separate and filter the platelets, then pump the platelets back into the forearm tendon area.
   • Although still under research, this method is also beneficial in treating a number of chronic tendon problems. Talk to your doctor about whether this method is right for you.

5. 

   Learn about physiotherapy. Your doctor may recommend combining physical therapy with other tendinitis treatments. During physical therapy, you will learn how to stretch your forearms to reduce muscle tension. Knowing how to reduce muscle tension is important as it contributes to the minor tears caused by tendinitis.
   • Occupations and recreational activities that require a grip, put pressure on stretch or flex muscles, or repetitive hand / wrist movements can cause muscle strain, contributing to tendinitis.
   • A physical therapist may recommend a deep friction massage to aid in the release of natural stimulants that help with tendon healing. This technique is very safe, gentle, and you can easily learn from a physical therapist.

6. 

   Watch for serious symptoms. In some cases, tendinitis may require urgent medical treatment. You need to recognize serious symptoms to request treatment right away. Seek immediate medical attention if:
   • The elbow is hot and inflamed, the person has a fever
   • The elbow cannot be bent
   • Elbow deformation
   • You suspect a fracture or break due to an injury to your forearm

7. 

   Support recovery with home remedies. While it's a good idea to see your doctor for a diagnosis and treatment for tendinitis, there are some home remedies you can use to help with mild tendinitis pain. Consult with your doctor to know if using this ingredient is appropriate or not. You can relieve tendinitis pain by:
   • Resting the inflamed joint and deactivating it stimulates the inflammatory joint
   • Wrap an ice cube in a towel and apply it to the painful joint 3-4 times daily for 10 minutes each time
   • Take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medicine, such as naproxen (Aleve) or ibuprofen (Motrin)

Advice

• If you are unable to see a doctor right away, you should call to find out what can be done to ease the pain while you wait. Your doctor may advise you to rest, wrap an ice pack in a towel to apply to your arm, and lift the inflamed joint to reduce swelling.

Warning

• Beware of some serious risks of steroid injections. Steroid injections often help relieve pain and discomfort, making it possible for you to use your joints more. However, long-term use of damaged joints can lead to deeper damage and joint fracture. A tendon rupture is often accompanied by severe pain, muscle weakness, bruising, an inability to use a joint, and joint deformity in some cases.
