Tendonitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon — the
thick fibrous cords that attach muscles to bone. This causes
pain and tenderness just outside a joint. Tendonitis is most
common in shoulders, elbows and knees but can also occur hips,
heels and wrists.
Tendons are usually surrounded by a sheath of tissue similar
to the lining of the joints (synovium). They're subject to the
wear and tear of aging, direct injury and inflammatory
diseases.
Common names for tendonitis include tennis elbow, golfer's
elbow, pitcher's shoulder, swimmer's shoulder and jumper's
knee.
Injury or overuse during work or play is the most common
cause of tendonitis. The pain is usually the result of a small
tear in or inflammation of the tendon that links your muscles
to your bone. Tendonitis can also be caused by inflammatory
diseases that occur in your body, such as rheumatoid
arthritis.
The incidence of tendonitis increases with age as
muscles and tendons lose some of their elasticity. Weak
arthritic joints and rheumatoid arthritis also contribute to
re-occurring tendonitis.
