Key Supplements
- Curcumin 1000-2000mg 3x/day (anti-inflammatory)
- Omega-3 4-6g/day (reduces inflammation)
- Boswellia 500mg 3x/day (anti-inflammatory)
- Bromelain 500mg 3x/day between meals (anti-inflammatory enzyme)
- MSM 2-4g/day (sulfur compound—supports collagen, reduces pain)
- Vitamin C 2000mg/day (collagen synthesis critical for tendon healing)
Key Lab Markers
- Ultrasound (first-line imaging—shows tendon thickening, tears, calcifications, hyperemia—blood flow indicating inflammation)
- MRI (if diagnosis uncertain—shows tendon pathology, partial/complete tears, surrounding soft tissue)
- X-ray (shows calcific tendonitis—calcium deposits in tendon, rules out bone pathology)
- Blood tests if systemic cause suspected: Rheumatoid Factor, Anti-CCP (inflammatory arthritis), Uric acid (gout can mimic tendonitis), Fasting glucose, HbA1c (diabetes impairs healing), Thyroid panel (hypothyroidism associated with tendon issues), Vitamin D, magnesium (deficiencies impair healing)
