Detailed explanation-1: -Tendinitis is inflammation of the thick fibrous cords that attach muscle to bone. These cords are called tendons. The condition causes pain and tenderness just outside a joint. Tendinitis can occur in any tendon. But it’s most common around shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees and heels.
Detailed explanation-2: -The chief symptom is pain at the site of the injured tendon, especially during use. The pain may be chronic or it may come on suddenly and feel sharp. Other symptoms include swelling, warmth, tenderness, and redness.
Detailed explanation-3: -It may feel weak, look swollen and red, and feel warm to the touch. In rare cases when infection causes tendinosis, you also could have a rash, fever, or unusual discharge. Other symptoms depend on where the inflamed tendon is.
