Tendonitis

Tendonitis is an inflammation or irritation of a tendon, which is the thick fibrous cord that attaches muscle to bone. It often occurs due to repetitive movements, overuse, or injury, leading to pain, swelling, and limited mobility in the affected area, commonly seen in the shoulders, elbows, knees, and wrists. Commonly associated with sports or physical activities, tendonitis can affect anyone. Treatment typically involves rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy to help reduce pain and regain strength. In more severe cases, medical intervention may be necessary.
