Myotendinitis

Introduction

Myotendinitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of skeletal muscle that can result from various factors. It may be associated with overexertion, prolonged static position or injury. Although myotendinitis is quite common, it can cause serious consequences such as limited mobility, soreness and even muscle tissue tears. In this article we will look at what myotendinitis is, its symptoms and causes. We will also discuss treatment and prevention methods for this disease.

Causes of myotendinitis

The most common cause of myotendenitis is increased physical activity. This condition can occur when performing work that requires a lot of concentration and strength, such as farming, construction, or athletics. Such exercises cause maximum muscle tension, which can lead to overuse.

Myotendinitis is commonly called inflammation of the tendons, which is characterized by the formation of scar tissue. As a rule, this disease affects people who regularly experience stress that overstrains their muscles. For example, athletes involved in weightlifting or heavy sports. Treatment is usually long-term - from one and a half to two months, and as a result, complete

**Myotenid syndrome** is a fairly rare myositis (inflammation of muscle fibers), during which muscles that have ligaments and tendons are damaged, that is, which bear various functional loads when a person moves. The disease can be abbreviated as myotenitis, and the disease is popularly called “myopathy.” The term was introduced into medical terminology by the German physician F. Griegl in 1890. From his later research, it became clear that myotenditis diseases are the consequences of muscle overstrain caused by a microtraumatic factor. Subsequently, they degenerate, but long-term stress is not always required to cause injury; it is enough to injure certain muscles once.

Myotenodinitis can affect all skeletal muscles and muscle tendons. However, in most cases, the muscles of the lower limbs, neck and back, muscles of the gluteal and pectoral regions and the shoulder girdle are affected. The muscles of the thumb, toes, back extensors and buttocks are affected.

One of the main manifestations of myoteodonitis is monoarthralgia, which is felt as stabbing pain in one or more joints. Over time, the joints become inflamed, and this inflammation causes massive gouty bone damage. The joints become swollen, which subsequently destroys them. As joints deteriorate, deformity may occur. The inflamed muscle contracts, causing pain (sciatica) and tension in the muscles. The affected area may become red from muscle atrophy and inflammatory firm swelling occurs as the affected area enlarges. Subsequently, the affected muscles shorten and therefore the person may experience impaired movement in the joints, arms, legs and back, and it is also difficult for him to move his arm or leg.

**Myotendinitis** is considered a polysyndromic disease of the musculoskeletal system, occurring against the background of severe fatigue and excessive work of any muscle group. The pathology is characterized by severe pain at the site of damage to the muscle fibers, accompanying swelling and limitation of motor activity. Aching pain leads to depression and decreased mood. Diagnosed by x-ray or neurological examination and found in the muscles of the thigh, neck or arms. With timely treatment, complete recovery occurs quickly.
