Tendinitis is an inflammation of a tendon, a bundle of very resistant fibers that connect bones to muscles. It occurs when this tendon has been stressed too much during a repetitive activity, it is due to the friction of these fibers, composed essentially of collagen, on a bone or on a joint. The term tendinopathy is mentioned more particularly when the body of the tendon is affected, the term insertion tendinopathy when it is the part connected to the bone and the term tenosynovitis when it is the sheaths which surround the tendons.
Food supplements
In addition to a balanced diet, food supplements can also help relieve pain. You can for example take turmeric capsules. Nothing also prevents you from sprinkling a little of this spice on your dishes. And for good reason, turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It can be combined with black pepper, but also with maritime pine bark extract which has anti-inflammatory effects or with boswellia resin (tree native to Africa or Asia), which has analgesic properties. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
