A: TendonitisWhat are tendon problems?Two major problems associated with tendons include tendonitis and tenosynovitis. Tendonitis, inflammation of a tendon (the tough cords of tissue that connect muscles to bones) can affect any tendon, but is most commonly seen in the wrist and fingers. When the tendons become irritated, swelling, pain, and discomfort will occur.Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of the lining of the tendon sheaths which enclose the tendons. The tendon sheath is usually the site which becomes inflamed, but both the sheath and the tendon can become inflamed simultaneously. The cause of tenosynovitis is often unknown, but usually strain, overuse, injury, or excessive exercise may be implicated. Tendonitis may also be related to disease (i.e., diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis).Common tendon disorders include the following: * lateral epicondylitis (commonly known as tennis elbow) – a condition characterized by pain in the back side of the elbow and forearm, along the thumb side when the arm is alongside the body with the thumb turned away. The pain is caused by damage to the tendons that bend the wrist backward away from the palm. * medial epicondylitis (commonly known as golfer’s or baseball elbow) – a condition characterized by pain from the elbow to the wrist on the palm side of the forearm. The pain is caused by damage to the tendons that bend the wrist toward the palm. * rotator cuff tendonitis – a shoulder disorder characterized by the inflammation of the shoulder capsule and related tendons. * DeQuervain’s tenosynovitis – the most common type of tenosynovitis disorder characterized by the tendon sheath swelling in the tendons of the thumb. * trigger finger/trigger thumb – a tenosynovitis condition in which the tendon sheath becomes inflamed and thickened, thus preventing the smooth extension or flexion of the finger/thumb. The finger/thumb may lock or “trigger” suddenly.What are the symptoms of tendonitis?The following are the most common symptoms of tendonitis. However each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: * pain in the tendon when moved * swelling from fluid accumulation and inflammation, or a grating sensation if not swollenThe symptoms of tendonitis may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.How is tendonitis diagnosed?Diagnosis of tendonitis is usually confirmed based on a complete medical history and physical examination. Tendonitis is often diagnosed after other diagnostic tests have been completed to rule out other conditions or diseases. Joint aspirations may help to rule out gout or an infection, while x-rays may help to rule out arthritis (although tendons cannot be seen on an x-ray).Treatment for tendonitis:Specific treatment for tendonitis will be determined by your physician based on: * your age, overall health, and medical history * extent of the condition * your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, and therapies * expectation for the course of the disease * specific organs that are affected * your opinion or preferenceTreatment may include: * activity modification * splinting or immobilization * steroid injections * anti-inflammatory medications * surgeryhttp://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/uvahealth/adult_arthritis/tendon.cfm

What can happen if an abscessed tooth goes untreated for a couple of days?

Q: So I’ve had an abscessed tooth for five days now (I couldn’t go sooner due to problems with my insurance and places being closed over weekends), and I had these symptoms: extreme pain, high fever, extreme fatigue for four days, now I am on antibiotics and feel much better, but I have to ask- should I be concerned that some damage was done during those four days? I am still in pain, but not as much, and I just developed a new symptom- a tingling sensation and numbness in my hand.The problem with my insurance by the way, is that I have none.

A: Generally, a week or so won’t make a big difference, though if things keep acting strange after you’re done with the antibiotics, get in contact again with your dentist/doctor. The thing to remember is that your mouth is close to major nerve centers, so the infection have had some effect on them, and/or in the course of clearing out is going to come into some contact with these extreme nerve centers. Go see a doctor if your hand or other extremity gets cold, completely numb, or starts turning blue, cause at that point something is moreso wrong.

Are these symptoms of an infection?

Q: Pre-face;Okay, so I have 2 impacted wisdom teeth. I’m scheduled to have them removed in 2 weeks. For a while, I had a bubble on the inside of my cheek, by one of the wisdom teeth, which would come and go, which would also bring on some cold or flu-like symptoms. I would massage it and it would go away, and take the cold-like symptoms with it. When I told the dental hygienist about it, she seemed concerned, and said it means that the wisdom teeth are draining.Okay…. so here’s my dilemma;2 days ago, I woke up from a nap with an ache in my neck. Kind of like the ache you get when you’ve got swollen glands. Then I noticed that my bones hurt. It was the same kind of pain I felt in my bones, when I had an abscessed tooth, about 5 months ago. -I know, because when the dentist cleaned out that tooth and filled it, the pain in my bones suddenly left-.Later that evening, my throat started to feel scratchy. Then I began to feel some tenderness around the base of my skull, by the back of my neck. That was followed by some on-again-off-again pains in the left side and the top of my head.Last night, I started to notice a sore, scratchy feeling around my right wisdom tooth. I began feeling around the inside of my mouth, to try to figure out what was different. I noticed that I felt a little bubble on the inside of my cheek, up by that wisdom tooth. I remembered that when I had it on the other side, I massaged it and it went away. So I tried massaging it, and it didn’t go anywhere. In fact, the inside of my cheek began to swell, as well as the outside, and it began to feel worse. So I stopped, and rinsed my mouth with baking soda and peroxide, to try to heal whatever the problem was.When I woke up in the morning, I noticed that my right cheek was still swollen, but now my right under-eye area was swollen as well.Later that morning, I noticed that my left under eye area was swollen as well. As the early afternoon approached, I began to feel a soreness under my left eye, so I went to look in the bathroom mirror, and I noticed a sty on the bottom rim of my left eye.A couple hours later, a had one on my right eye as well. Now it’s close to midnight and I feel like I have swollen glands along with an achy feeling in my back. I still have swelling inside my right cheek as well as outside, and my mouth on that side is sore, and my throat feels pretty scratchy. In addition to that, I feel like my equilibrium is a bit off, and I have “stuff” in my throat, you know- mucus. Yuck. I feel like I have to keep clearing my throat.I’m feeling a bit chilly as well, and my vision feels a slight bit blurred. I’m wondering if this means an infection is spreading because of my impacted wisdom teeth. I’m worried. Any advice guys? Thanks a million :)Okay, I’m calling my dentist )he’s also an oral surgeon) tomorrow morning, to get an emergency appointment. Thank you. I didn’t know if I was just being overly conscious of every little thing, or if it in fact was all connected to the wisdom tooth thing. I suspected my wisdom teeth though. I’m really scared. I will call asap.

A: I’ve had an impacted tooth before, it sucks. I think if you are feeling the way you are and are just as worried, you need to call your doctor and get this taken care of. Infections are very dangerous, especially if they’re close to your brain. Get it taken care of.
