Short-term treatment with antiphlogistics of tendinitis caused by physical strain
In the course oft the four-day march in Nijmegen, 150 participting soldiers consulted a doctor. 128 of these soliers suffered from tendinitis in the lower extremities. These patients were treated with naproxen 250 mg three times a day for the rest of the march. Of the 106 patients who answered a questionnaire evaluating the treatment, 10,5 % had not felt any improvement at all, whereas
89,5 % reported improvement or a complete cure from the treatment. Four weeks after the march, 36 persons still reported persistent pain during physical activity. The results indicate that short-term treatment can be benefical for some but have disadvantages for others.
