I have tried cortisone injections in both areas with relief only lasting about 1 - 2 weeks. I have been limping for the last 5 months and I am tired of it. Blasting it with oral prednisone worked, but did not last. Unfortunately, since I was diagnosed I have had few episodes of remission. I visit my Rhemu doctor, opthamologist, and family doctor on a regular basis and when I get flare-ups.
Some tendons have protective sheaths called synovium.
When a tendon becomes inflamed, it is called tendinitis. When both tendon and sheath are inflamed, it is called tenosynovitis. The tendons in the foot become inflamed when they are injured, irritated from the shoes or faulty foot functions. Chronic tendinitis may result in a spontaneous rupture of the tendon. Tenosynovitis occurs in certain systemic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Reiter s syndrome and scleroderma.
