Experiencing Persistent Tendon Pain? It Could Be Tendinopathy 💪

Tendinopathy is a condition involving a tendon—the strong tissue connecting muscle to bone. It often develops from repeated stress or overuse and can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced movement.

Common Symptoms May Include:
• Pain or tenderness along a tendon
• Stiffness, especially after rest or activity
• Swelling or thickening of the tendon
• Weakness or reduced mobility
• Pain that worsens with repetitive activity

Helpful Tips:
✔ Give the affected area appropriate rest
✔ Avoid activities that significantly increase pain
✔ Gradually return to activity
✔ Use proper technique during exercise
✔ Follow recommended stretching and strengthening exercises
✔ Seek medical evaluation for persistent symptoms

⚠️ Don’t ignore ongoing tendon pain. Early evaluation and appropriate treatment can help prevent the condition from worsening and support a safe return to activity.

🩺 Medical Minute with Dr. Shelton

Let’s talk about diabetes and the serious complications it can cause, including peripheral vascular disease, heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, and nerve damage.

When managing diabetes, prevention and early detection are key.

Peripheral vascular disease can reduce blood flow to the legs and feet, increasing the risk of ulcers and infections. People with diabetes should have regular foot examinations and discuss appropriate podiatry care with their healthcare provider.

Diabetes can also cause peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage). It’s very important to protect your feet and avoid walking barefoot. Even small cuts, blisters, or sores can become serious infections if left untreated.

Recognizing warning signs and seeing your physician regularly can help reduce the risk of serious health complications.

🥶 Cold Weather Causing Hives? It Could Be Cold Urticaria! 🥶

Cold urticaria is a condition where exposure to cold temperatures or cold water triggers hives and other skin reactions. Symptoms can appear within minutes after exposure and may vary from person to person.

Common Symptoms May Include:
• Red, itchy hives
• Swelling of the skin
• Itching or burning
• Swelling of the lips or hands after cold exposure
• Symptoms that worsen as the skin warms

Helpful Tips:
✔ Protect your skin from cold temperatures
✔ Dress warmly and wear gloves
✔ Avoid sudden exposure to cold water
✔ Keep track of triggers
✔ Discuss recurring reactions with your healthcare provider

⚠️ Seek emergency medical care immediately if cold exposure causes difficulty breathing, swelling of the tongue or throat, dizziness, or fainting. Severe reactions can occur, especially after swimming in cold water.

If you frequently develop hives after exposure to cold, don’t ignore the symptoms. Proper evaluation can help determine the cause and treatment options.
