It is estimated that achilles tendonitis accounts for around 11% of all running injuries. A.T. can be acute or chronic, and may happen as a result of overuse or training, especially on hard surfaces or up hills.
As people age, tendons, like other tissues in the body, become less flexible, more rigid, and more susceptible to injury. Therefore, middle-age recreational athletes are most susceptible to A.T.
Pharmacologic treatment for the pain and inflammation usually revolves around oral NSAID therapy. However oral NSAIDs have some very well known side effects including:
- Ulcers
- Intestinal Bleeding
- Stomach Bleeding
- Perforation of the Intestinal Lining
These side effects can be very serious and can preclude some sufferers of AT, of finding the pain relief they desire.
If you are unable to take or tolerate oral NSAIDs, you don't have to suffer. Bayview Pharmacy can help you, by customizing a pharmacologic treatment, to treat your AT.
