Duration
The duration of tendonitis in the popliteal fossa depends strongly on the cause as well as the success of the therapy. In the case of acute tendonitis, for example, due to infectious causes, the symptoms usually disappear again after a few weeks. However, most tendon inflammations are of a chronic nature, so that treatment can last from several weeks to several months. In order to prevent a recurrence of the symptoms or a serious chronification of the tendonitis, a longer recovery period should rather be accepted.
