Does tendinitis completely heal?

I lift weights and i hav been havin sharp pains in my shoulder. my doc told me its tendinitis and lay off liftin for awhile. i went to the gym and did shoulder work and that sharp pain came bak juss for the while i was working out. i wanna kno if my tendinitis will completely heal and can i go bak to working out intense lik i used to?

tendinitis is a chronic condition..it may improve or it may not right away. don't do the weights yet..just nurse your shoulder by doing small exercises to it..what i would suggest to you (and i am sure your doc already told you) is take motrin/advil or ibuprofen to decrease the swelling. then exercise shoulder little by little..stretch it..put hot/cold packs to your shoulder...if you don't seee any improvements, then your doc would probably give you cortisone shots..if that doesn't improve it, then your doctor will probably order an MRI (x-ray that sees your tissue) to see if you have a tear of your tendon etc. he/she may even refer you to orthopedics if there is a huge tear of your tendon...last resort for this tendinitis is usually surgery, but try to avoid it b/c i hear that surgery may not even improve the tendinitis and may worsen it..so my suggestion..take your motrin and exercise your arm little by little..refrain from the weights for a long time..don't lift anything heavier than 25 pounds..good luck!

It can heal but you need to give it a couple of months or more. Ice it 20 minutes 3 times a day and use ibuprofen or Naproxen a couple times of day. If it doesn't get better in a couple weeks you may need to get a cortisone injection.

there is a homeopathic called "Ruta Graveolons" you can buy this at most health food stores, you take it internally. What you do is follow the directions and make sure you do not eat or drink anything for 10 minutes before or after you take it and let it disolve on your tongue. This has helped me tremendously with my tendonitis. Also massage and acupuncture will help you heal much faster, that and REST!

no dont matter what meds your on never goes away

Yes but it takes time to heal.

No. i can guarentee it will always affect you in some form. I had a very bad case in my elbow once from a job. It wasn't hurting too bad and then one day in the middle of lifting a heavy object my arm just dropped and went numb for 20 minutes. Found out it was tendonitis that had been affecting me for week. And while it doesn't bother me 99% of the time anymore, if i start to do any repetitive motions like those that caused the problem, it starts to inflame and hurt again. You can try finding a brace (will be hard for a shoulder) that helps keep the tendon in place, but i would suggest that you give it some time to rest, and when you start back in do low weight low reps to try rebuilding the muscles around the tendon to help stabilize it more before you go much harder. But its very likely you wont be able to do the same intensity anymore depending on the severity of the injury now
