About the disease & condition

Tendonitis is the inflammation of a tendon, often affecting the shoulders, elbows, wrists, or knees. It commonly results from overuse, repetitive motion, aging, or occupational and sports-related strain. Symptoms include localized pain, swelling, warmth, and stiffness, which can limit joint movement. Early diagnosis through physical examination and imaging helps guide treatment. Management involves rest, physiotherapy, gradual return to activity, and preventive measures to avoid chronic degeneration or tendon rupture, ensuring full recovery and improved function.

Known Symptoms

Localized pain, swelling, and warmth around the affected tendon.
Stiffness and limited range of motion during movement.
Discomfort increases with activity or repetitive motion.
Difficulty performing routine tasks due to tendon pain.

Known Causes

Overuse or repetitive motion stressing the tendon.
Aging causing tendon degeneration and reduced elasticity.
Sports-related or occupational strain affecting specific tendons.
Poor technique or sudden increases in physical activity.

Care

Perform proper warm-up and stretching before activity.
Avoid repetitive strain to allow tendon healing.
Gradual return to activity after rest or therapy.
Seek early medical attention to prevent chronic tendon degeneration or rupture.
