What is the difference between nerve pain and tendon pain?

Nerve pain and tendon pain are not the same in clinical practice. The onset of nerve pain may be due to aging, hyperplasia, or degeneration of the bones, which may cause stimulation and compression of the nerves, and the patient may feel a discharge tingling or electric shock-like pain, as well as a combination of local skin sensory loss, muscle strength, and in some cases, pathological reflexes. If the patient experiences tendon pain, the onset may be due to direct external force or indirect external force, resulting in damage to the local muscle soft tissues. The patient may feel localized dull pain or knife-like pain, and there is significant local swelling and subcutaneous bruising, in addition, the pain is more limited in scope. In the treatment method is also different, neuralgia can be treated symptomatically by applying neurotrophic drugs. Tendon pain can be treated conservatively by giving local topical ointment to activate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain.
