Understanding Tendonitis: When Tendons Become Inflamed

Tendons are the tough, fibrous cords that connect muscles to bones. Tendonitis occurs when these tendons become inflamed, often due to overuse, repetitive movements, or sudden injuries. This inflammation can cause pain, stiffness, and weakness in the affected area.

Common Types of Tendonitis

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

Pain on the outside of the elbow, often caused by overuse of the wrist extensor muscles.

Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

Pain on the inside of the elbow, often caused by overuse of the wrist flexor muscles.

Achilles Tendonitis

Pain and inflammation in the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscle to the heel bone.

Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper's Knee)

Pain and inflammation in the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shinbone.

Rotator Cuff Tendonitis

Pain and inflammation in the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles in the shoulder.

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis

Affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, causing pain and swelling.

Causes of Tendonitis

Overuse

Repetitive movements can strain tendons, leading to inflammation.

Repetitive Motions

Activities like typing, playing sports, or performing manual labor can contribute to tendonitis.

Sudden Injury

A sudden strain or tear can damage tendons and trigger inflammation.

Age

As we age, tendons become less flexible and more prone to injury.

Poor Posture

Can place added stress on tendons.
