Wrist Tendonitis (RSI) See more WRIST TENDONITIS (RSI) ABOUT WRIST TENDONITIS (RSI) Tendons are thick tissues that connect muscles to bones. When a muscle contracts, it moves the bones by pulling on a tendon. There are many tendons running from the elbow to the wrist and some of them move within a sheath called the synovium. The synovium helps the tendons to move smoothly without getting caught on other soft tissues. We can treat wrist tendonitis in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. Tendonitis, or tendinopathy, is where a tendon can become inflamed and painful. Tenosynovitis is where the synovium or sheath becomes inflamed and hurts when the tendon moves through it. Tendonitis and tenosynovitis are common causes of wrist pain. Wrist tendonitis is sometimes called repetitive strain injury (RSI) when common daily activities, such as using a computer mouse or keyboard, cause the inflammation. But wrist tendonitis and tenosynovitis can also be caused by an injury, ageing or arthritis. Tendonitis is sometimes confused with carpal tunnel syndrome however carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by nerve compression. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF WRIST TENDONITIS? Wrist tendonitis and tenosynovitis have similar symptoms: Tender or warm to touch wrist Pain when moving the hand or fingers Swelling at the wrist Difficulty gripping or pinching An examination by a medical professional will diagnose the cause of your wrist pain. This may involve certain movements to stretch the tendons or an x-ray or MRI scan. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR WRIST PAIN? The types of treatments will vary depending on your diagnosis and how severe your wrist pain is. Types of non-surgical treatments include: Rest/change activity – avoid the activity that caused the injury until the pain subsides. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – painkillers that help reduce any inflammation. Ice therapy – use ice packs to reduce swelling, inflammation and promote blood flow. Physiotherapy – strengthening and stretching exercises to keep the wrist mobile and flexible. Steroid injections – cortisone gives short-term pain relief and reduces inflammation. Splint or cast – a supportive aid to immobilise the hand whilst the tendons recover. Surgery is an option is the tendon has been damaged through an injury and isn’t repairing itself or possibly to remove a badly damaged synovium.

Jumper’s knee is a chronic injury of the patellar tendon of the knee.

Anyone can get a jumper’s … Recover® Jumpers Knee See more RECOVER® JUMPERS KNEE Jumper’s knee is a chronic injury of the patellar tendon of the knee. It is often called patellar tendonitis because there is inflammation of the tendon and most commonly occurs at its origin just below the kneecap. This chronic injury results in a degree of degeneration of the patellar tendon. Anyone can get a jumper’s knee, but it is a particularly common problem in athletes involved in jumping sports, such as high jump, long jump, triple jump, basketball, hurdling, badminton, volleyball and soccer. With repetitive jumping often small tearing and injury of the tendon can occur. When you suffer from a jumper’s knee you usually notice the gradual onset of pain. Most often you will have pain in the front of your knee, localised below the knee, when jumping or hopping, or with lifting or bending. Quite often the pain is relieved by rest but returns with activity. There might also be some swelling present below the kneecap. Tendons are known to have a poor blood supply and combined with the stress of day-to-day activities, they do not easily heal from damage. As a result of the slow healing of tendons, the symptoms occurring at a knee tendon injury can last for a number of weeks, months, or sometimes, they can persist for years. Recover Leukocyte-, and Platelet-Rich Plasma (L-PRP) offers a promising technique that may help tendon injuries. L-PRP prepared with the Recover technique results in concentrated platelets and white blood cells containing reservoirs of bioactive proteins, like growth factors. L-PRP injection therapy offers a technique that may help to relieve pain and improve function. Recover: A natural treatment of jumper’s knee Recover-treatment A 52 ml sample of blood is withdrawn from your arm. The blood is then transferred in a tube that is placed in a centrifuge that spins the blood for 15 minutes. The centrifuge step separates the L-PRP from the rest of the blood components. After centrifugation the L-PRP is collected. L-PRP prepared with the Recover technique (containing platelets, growth factors and white blood cells) is ready to be injected back into the tendon at the site of the chronic injury. Before injecting the L-PRP a local anaesthetic can be used. After just one single skin poke through the skin, the L-PRP will be injected into the tendon with multiple penetrations. After treatment After the injection you should not move your knee for 15 minutes enabling the L-PRP to soak into your tendon. Afterwards you can go home and you may get a prescription for a narcotic pain medication for pain control overnight. Anti-inflammatory drugs are not allowed. Icing may be a good solution. Increased pain at the site of injury may result up to two weeks after L-PRP injection. After the patellar tendon Recover procedure, you should follow a customised rehabilitation protocol. Initially, you should be partial weight bearing with crutches. Progressive exercises should be started about 5–7 days after the procedure. Your consultant will provide guidance on this.

About Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is where a nerve in your wrist gets compressed which can result in weakness and numbness in ... Carpal Tunnel Syndrome See more CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME ABOUT CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is where a nerve in your wrist gets compressed which can result in weakness and numbness in your hand. We can treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. The carpal tunnel is a channel in your wrist through which the tendons that control your fingers run. Also in the tunnel is the median nerve which supplies feeling and control of your hand. So when this nerve gets compressed, the median nerve is compromised and this is known as carpal tunnel syndrome. The nerve can get compressed for different reasons so there are several causes of carpal tunnel syndrome: Smaller carpal tunnel – some people just have a smaller tunnel so they are more prone to carpal tunnel syndrome Being overweight – carrying excessive weight makes you more likely to develop carpal tunnel syndrome Gender – women are more likely to get carpal tunnel problems, partly because women are smaller but also because of the types of jobs they do. Age – you are more likely to develop carpal tunnel syndrome if you are over 30. Repetitive movements – activities that involve repetitive movements of the hands can trigger carpal tunnel syndrome such as typing or using vibrating machinery. Injury to the wrist – there may be swelling in the wrist which is causing the compression. Carpal tunnel syndrome is different from wrist tendonitis as it is the nerve which is being compressed and not inflammation on the tendons themselves. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME? Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause pain and weakness in the fingers, wrist and arm: Pain, numbness or tingling in the thumb and first three fingers of the hand Weakness in the hand which may lead to dropping things Pain in the wrist which may extend into the forearm and up to the shoulder Because of the weakness and impaired ability to use your hand, carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to muscle wastage if a severe case goes untreated. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE? Carpal tunnel syndrome ranges from mild to severe cases. So it doesn’t always require treatment as mild cases can clear up on its own. However, if there is no improvement within a couple of weeks, it’s better to seek help from your GP: Painkillers – using an anti-inflammatory painkiller, such as ibuprofen, can help reduce the swelling and inflammation as well as treat the pain. Wrist splint – wearing a splint at night keeps the hand in a neutral position that takes the pressure off of the median nerve. You may need to wear the splint for at least a month. Cortisone steroid injection – these injections can reduce inflammation and treat any pain and can work very quickly to improve your trigger finger. Carpal tunnel can also be successfully treated through a surgical procedure called ‘carpal tunnel release’.

I spend most of my spare time supporting my children in their activities, which include dancing and swimming. I also love to spend time together with my family on trips out to the seaside, cinema, soft play, or the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. I began my NHS career at the age of nineteen as an assistant Medical Secretary in Orthopaedics and from this went on to become Medical Secretary. In addition to this, I also worked in the private sector for a broad range of specialities. In 2019 I welcomed my twin girls and made the huge decision, to take a break from the NHS. From then onwards I worked from home in the private sector until I joined Coriel in early 2022.

About heel pain The plantar fascia is a band of tough tissue that runs from your heel, along your foot and connects to the ... Heel Pain See more HEEL PAIN ABOUT HEEL PAIN The plantar fascia is a band of tough tissue that runs from your heel, along your foot and connects to the metatarsal bones in the ball of your foot. This tissue acts as a shock absorber for when you walk. When the plantar fascia becomes inflamed, it causes pain in the heel of your foot and is called plantar fasciitis. We can treat heel pain in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. Plantar fasciitis is more common in people aged 40 to 60 and in people who are overweight or obese. But you may also get it if you are on your feet all day, especially on a hard surface or if you have inadequate shoes. Plantar fasciitis is also a common runner’s injury. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF HEEL PAIN? The main symptom of plantar fasciitis is pain in the heel of your foot. The pain might be described as: Worse when you first stand up or start walking, especially if you’ve been asleep or sitting down for a long time. Coming on after being on your feet for a long period including walking, standing or running. Possibly sharp at first but lessens as you move around. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE? Plantar fasciitis usually clears up on its own although this can take 12 to 18 months. Most treatments can help reduce this recovery time, but resting your foot is the best treatment: Comfortable and supportive shoes – to cushion the heel when walking or standing. Ice therapy – to reduce swelling and inflammation. Orthotics – insoles that cushion the heel and/or support the foot arch. Physiotherapy – for strengthening and stretching exercises. Splints – wearing a splint at night can help with plantar fasciitis recovery. Surgery isn’t a common option for treating plantar fasciitis but an operation to relieve the tension on the plantar fascia can be performed.

Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder See more OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE SHOULDER ABOUT OSTEOARTHRITIS Osteoarthritis is a condition that can affect any joint in the body, however, it most often affects the knees, hips and the small joints in the hands. A soft tissue called cartilage protects the ends of bones where they move against each other in a joint. When the cartilage is worn down, either through everyday use or as a result of an injury, the action of the bones rubbing against each other is the cause of osteoarthritis. We can treat shoulder osteoarthritis in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. Osteoarthritis can develop with age, as your joints become more worn. If you’ve previously had an injury or surgery on a joint, you may be more likely to develop osteoarthritis in that joint. You may also have a family history of osteoarthritis which increases the chance of you developing it yourself. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the UK and affects nearly 9 million people. There is no cure for osteoarthritis, however, there are ways of managing and treating the condition. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF OSTEOARTHRITIS IN THE SHOULDER? Osteoarthritis of the shoulder causes pain, swelling and stiffness in the joint. Pain is usually felt on the back of the joint and you may find it difficult to sleep on that side. The bones grind, pop or creak when you use your arm or you may have limited movement in your shoulder. Sometimes, the stiffness is worst in the mornings when you wake up and may ease as you begin to move about. Symptoms may come and go or you might experience them continuously which affects your ability to do everyday activities. Mild cases of osteoarthritis of the shoulder can be managed through regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight. More severe cases may need painkillers and additional support or treatment. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS? Lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise may help prevent or manage mild cases of shoulder osteoarthritis. Losing weight has also shown to help with shoulder osteoarthritis. Plus, you can use painkillers, such as paracetamol, to treat any pain flare-ups. There are several other non-surgical treatment options for osteoarthritis of the shoulder: Physiotherapy – exercise plan and manipulation of the joint or TENS device pain relief. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – different painkillers that can be prescribed by your GP. Steroid injections – short-term pain relief for arthritis sufferers that can last several weeks. If your osteoarthritis is particularly severe, surgery may be the best option for you. Surgical procedures range from repairing the cartilage and even replacing the joint. Book your treatment for shoulder osteoarthritis in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop.

Rotator Cuff Tear & Sub-Acromial Impingement See more ROTATOR CUFF TEAR & SUB-ACROMIAL IMPINGEMENT ABOUT THE ROTATOR CUFF The rotator cuff is a tendon that keeps your arm in the shoulder socket. Together with other ligaments, it keeps your shoulder stable and gives it strength when using your arms above your head. When this tendon becomes damaged, it is known as a rotator cuff tear or injury. We can treat rotator cuff injury in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. Rotator cuff injuries and tears are more commonly experienced by older people as a result of ageing and wear on the joint. Or by younger, more active people from strenuous use, such as weight lifting or repeated overhead movements like throwing or decorating. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF ROTATOR CUFF INJURIES? Rotator cuff injuries range from inflamed tendons that don’t repair themselves to partial or full tears of the tendons. Symptoms of rotator cuff tears and injuries include pain and limited movement, for example: Pain is at the top and side of the shoulder Weakness when lifting your arms above your head Pain if you sleep on the affected side Limited movement of your shoulder Clicking or grating when you move your arm The shoulder isn’t usually stiff, as it might be if it were osteoarthritis or frozen shoulder . Rotator cuff injury symptoms are not exclusive to only the rotator cuff tears, so a proper diagnosis might include scans such as an MRI or ultrasound. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ROTATOR CUFF TEARS? Treatments will vary depending on how bad your rotator cuff tear is. For minor cases, you can try the following to see if your condition improves: Rest – avoid lifting heavy objects or raising your arms above your head. Pain relief – over-the-counter pain killers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, can treat the pain and possibly reduce any inflammation as well. Physiotherapy – exercise therapy can improve both the strength and range of motion in the shoulder. A physio will also advise on which movements you should avoid. Injections – steroid injections can reduce inflammation and pain in your shoulder. This may make physiotherapy more comfortable. Surgery is also an option for severe tears or for injuries that don’t seem to be healing as they should. ABOUT SUBACROMIAL IMPINGEMENT Sometimes, the tendons in the rotator cuff can become inflamed or pinched as they rub or move over tissues in the shoulder joint. This is known as subacromial impingement. Impingement may lead to damage to the rotator cuff itself and it is possible to have both an impingement and a rotator cuff injury at the same time.
