Tendonitis
Tendonitis refers to inflammation of the connective tissue known as tendons, which link muscles to bones.
Often caused by repetitive activities, tendonitis can make everyday tasks painful.
Tendonitis can affect the ankle, elbow, hip, knee, shoulder and wrist or base of the thumb.
Tendonitis typically causes discomfort and tenderness around the affected joint, especially close to the area where the tendon connects to the bone.
