Hi Denise, thanks for writing to HCM.

Yes, your fall on wet floor might have added additional strain on the already inflammed tendon leading to worsening of symptoms.

The main aim of tendinitis treatment is to relieve pain & reduce the inflammation.

The general guidelines of treatment includes REST, ICE PACKING and over the counter pain killers like Motrin or Aleve.

Sometimes an injection of corticosteroid around the inflammed tendon will provide good pain relief.

At times, Physiotherapy will also work by undergoing a specific exercise programme designed to stretch and strengthen the affected muscle tendon unit.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
