Unfortunately, since I was diagnosed I have had few episodes of remission. I swim daily and, except for my RS, am in excellent health and shape. I visit my Rhemu doctor, opthamologist, and family doctor on a regular basis and when I get flare-ups. Would like to hear from other RS sufferers. Best regards to all, Bil Tendinitis and Tensynovitis of the Foot Tendons connect muscles to bones.
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.
