Tendons when healed are very 'tight', and need to stretch. So walking exercising the tendon will allow it to slowly stretch, and thereby the limp or pain will slowly releave.
What does tendonitis effect?
Tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendons. Tendonitis most commonly occurs with repetitive motion or strain on a specific tendon. For example: Tennis Elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, occurs more commonly in Tennis players because of the repetitive movement and strain on the lateral tendon over the bony prominence called the lateral epicondyle. As the tendon, which controls the extensor muscles of the forearm and wrist, moves over the bony prominence, irritation develops as the synovial sheath surrounding the tendon wears away resulting in tenosynovitis, as the wearing continues, the tendon itself becomes irritated and micro tears occur in the fibrous tendon resulting in inflammation of the tendon which is called tendonitis. It is difficult to differentiate between tenosynovitis and tendonitis, thus inflammation of the tendon at any stage is usually referred to as tendonitis. Bursitis can be commonly mistaken for tendonitis. Underneath the tendons is a fluid-filled sac called bursa, as the tendon rubs across the bursa, irritation and inflammation develop into bursitis. Bursitis is normally diagnosed by palpation of the bursa by pushing underneath the affected tendon. If the palpation causes pain, bursitis, if palpation of the tendon causes pain, tendonitis. Pain without stiffness or pain on stretching is normally associated with bursitis also.
