What is Tendonitis Pain?
Tendonitis, also known as tendinitis, is an inflammation or irritation of a tendon, the thick fibrous cord that attaches muscle to bone. This condition is typically characterized by pain, tenderness, and mild swelling in the affected area. The intensity of the pain can range from a dull ache to severe discomfort, especially when moving the affected joint or muscle. Common areas where tendonitis occurs include the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and heels.
The pain associated with tendonitis often begins as a mild sensation but can escalate if left untreated. Symptoms might include stiffness, limited range of motion, and localized redness. Many people experience worsening symptoms with repetitive movements, which can turn daily tasks into painful chores.
Let's dive into the top causes of Tendonitis.
Repetitive Motion: The most common cause of tendonitis is repetitive motion. Activities that involve consistent, repeated stress on a particular tendon, such as typing, throwing a ball, or participating in certain sports, can lead to inflammation.
Age: Our tendons become less flexible and more susceptible to injury as we age. This decrease in elasticity makes older adults more prone to tendonitis.
Overuse: Engaging in too much physical activity without proper rest can overburden tendons, leading to inflammation and pain. This is particularly common in athletes and those who perform manual labor.
Improper Technique: Using incorrect techniques when engaging in physical activities or sports can place undue stress on tendons. Poor posture or inadequate equipment may also contribute to improper technique and eventual tendonitis.
Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, can increase the risk of developing tendonitis. These conditions may cause inflammation throughout the body, including in the tendons.
