Tendinitis and myofascial hip pain

What is

Tendonitis is the degeneration of the system that allows the muscles to insert into the bones (the tendon). Overuse of the muscles leads to continuous wear and tear leading to deterioration of this tendon. Usually the development of these injuries is slow and can lead to partial or total tendon rupture, so it is important to act as soon as possible on the factors that lead to this deterioration.

Myofascial syndrome is a pain condition caused by the involvement of a muscle or muscle group that is chronically and persistently contracted. This contracture is characterized by the existence of a tense band whose pressure produces pain in the area or in the path of the muscle. In it is possible to locate the so-called trigger points, which are spherical or tight band-shaped points whose pressure hurts and which can be released very effectively.

Type

Tendonitis and myofascial syndrome of gluteus medius

The gluteus medius is a muscle located between the gluteus maximus and gluteus minimus that allows us to open and close our legs, stabilizes the pelvis and helps us to maintain our balance. It is a fundamental muscle in transmitting weight and maintaining proper function between the spine and pelvis.

Symptoms

When we have a myofascial syndrome there is pain in the path of the muscle or in its insertion. Most often when we talk about the hip is that it is present in the gluteal region and depending on the area we will have some symptoms or others:

  • Tendinitis and myofascial syndrome of gluteus medius: It manifests in the area and region where this muscle is located. The pain manifests as a twinge or contracture in the thickness of the muscle in the area below the pelvis, the lateral part of the thigh and the knee; it can be confused with hip bursitis. It increases when ascending, descending stairs and when lying on that area for a while.
  • Pyramidal syndrome: pain is often manifested in the muscle area and may increase when sitting. It is very common for this process to be triggered in patients suffering from low back or hip pathology.

Here begins your life without pain

Recientemente me sometí a un procedimiento para aliviar un dolor considerable en mi espalda, después de caerme por un tramo de escaleras y dañarme la columna en tres lugares. Este procedimiento lo realizó el Dr. Santiago con la asistencia de Patricia Rodríguez Mederos de Mivi Salud Tenerife, en un quirófano del Hospital Quirón de Adeje, Tenerife, lo que me resultó mucho más cómodo que tener que subir a Sta Cruz. .

Desde que llegué fui muy bien atendido, primero por Atanay quien me preparó para el procedimiento y por Erika quien asistió al Dr. Santiago y Patricia en el quirófano. Me ofrecieron un gotero para ponerme en el brazo, con un sedante para mantenerme relajado, ya que el procedimiento se iba a realizar con anestesia local, en lugar de ponerme a dormir.

Sin embargo, rechacé el sedante porque las sonrisas de bienvenida y las garantías de todos los involucrados me tranquilizaron y no tenía ninguna preocupación. Realmente hace una gran diferencia ser tratado por estas personas tan profesionales, que me mantuvieron tranquila y relajada durante todo el tiempo que estuve allí.

Realmente no puedo elogiarlos lo suficiente y la buena noticia es que lo que hicieron fue muy exitoso y mi dolor de espalda se ha reducido considerablemente.

I recently underwent a procedure to relieve substantial pain in my back, after falling down a flight of stairs and damaging my spine in three places. This procedure was carried out by Dr Santiago with the assistance of Patricia Rodriguez Mederos of Mivi Salud Tenerife, in an operating room in the Quiron Hospital in Adeje, Tenerife, which was much more convenient for me, rather than having to go up to Sta Cruz.

From the moment I arrived, I was very well taken care of, firstly by Atanay, who prepared me for the procedure and by Erika who assisted Dr Santiago and Patricia in the operating room. I was offered a drip to be put in my arm, with a sedative to keep me relaxed, as the procedure was to be done using a local anaesthetic, rather than putting me to sleep.

However, I declined to have the sedative because the welcoming smiles and assurances from all concerned put me perfectly at ease, and I had no concerns whatsoever. It really makes a huge difference when being treated by these very professional people, who kept me calm and relaxed throughout the whole time I was there.

I really cannot praise them enough, and the good news is that what they did was very successful, and my back pain has been greatly reduced.
