Suggest Treatment For Insertional Tendinosis Of Distal Tendon
I had an MRI of my elbow yesterday. The conclusion of the report says: There is moderate insertional tendinosis of distal tendon, accounting for the patient's symptoms. No discrete tear is demonstrated. Remainder of the examination is unremarkable. Conservative therapy would be appropriate.
My doctor gave me a 1 month supply of Naproxen - SR 1000mg and said rest it.
Every site I have looked at with my results says I should not use anti-inflamatories and I should be using heat and light exercises.
What is the best course of action to take with a full recovery in mind.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Given the history of insertional tendinosis there can be degeneration of tendon involve so avoid heat therapy. Instead use ice and appropriate rest in elbow support for 6 weeks followed by eccentric exercises and stretching exercises, good nutrition with vit c , vit b 12 and calcium is also important for new collagen tissue growth and tendon health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Harsh Swarup
