Craig R. Purdam is an Orthopedic Surgeon based in Bruce, in Canberra’s inner south, at Leverrier St, Bruce, ACT 2617, Australia.
He helps people who are dealing with ongoing aches and pain in the muscles and joints. In many cases, that can be linked to everyday strain, work activity, or sports. At times the problem shows up as irritated tendons, which is where injuries can feel stubborn and take longer than you’d expect to settle.
Common reasons people see Craig include tendinitis, acute pain, and tennis elbow. Tennis elbow isn’t only for tennis players, either. It can happen from lots of gripping, lifting, typing, or using tools, when the same part of the arm gets overworked. Acute pain can be different—sometimes it’s a sudden flare after an activity, a new injury, or a flare-up that needs a clear plan to calm it down.
The goal of a good orthopaedic review is usually pretty practical: figure out what’s driving the pain, check how it’s affecting movement and daily tasks, and then talk through sensible next steps. That might involve ways to reduce flare-ups, simple rehab ideas, and management options that fit around real life. Over time, that can help people get back to work, hobbies, and normal routines with less worry about the pain coming back.
