Dr. Lin Yunfei
Tendonitis of the lower leg generally presents with symptoms such as pain and swelling. Pain worsens during walking, excessive fatigue, or when having a cold, and pressing on the affected area causes significant tenderness. An X-ray examination is required for diagnosis. Once the condition is confirmed, non-steroidal medications should be taken promptly to promote recovery of microcirculation. Patients are advised to keep warm and get adequate rest in daily life.
