Tendinitis vs Tendinosis
Quick Answer: Tendinitis (acute, 2-6 weeks): inflammation. Tendinosis (chronic, 3+ months): degenerative tendon changes. Treatment differs — tendinitis: rest + NSAIDs. Tendinosis: eccentric exercises + sometimes shockwave or PRP.
Why It Matters
Wrong diagnosis = wrong treatment. Tendinosis often misdiagnosed as tendinitis. Get accurate diagnosis.
