Expert Care for Soft Tissue Rheumatism

Dr. Mukhtar Masoodi

Soft tissue rheumatism encompasses conditions affecting muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Bursitis involves inflammation of bursae, small fluid-filled sacs cushioning bones and tendons. Tendonitis is inflammation of tendons, causing pain and mobility issues. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tender points throughout the body.

Bursitis

Bursitis is the inflammation of bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion bones, tendons, and muscles near joints. It commonly affects the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee, causing pain and restricted movement. Repetitive motions, prolonged pressure, or injury can trigger bursitis, often requiring rest, anti-inflammatory medications, or physical therapy for treatment.

Tendonitis

Tendonitis is the inflammation of a tendon, the thick fibrous cords attaching muscles to bones. It often results from repetitive strain or overuse, commonly affecting the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and heels. Symptoms include pain, tenderness, and limited movement. Treatment typically involves rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence.
