Tendonitis symptoms
Sudden stretching or repeated overuse injures the connection between the tendon and its
bone or muscle. The injury is largely mechanical, but when it appears, the body tries to
heal it by initiating inflammation. Inflammation increases the blood supply, bringing
nutrients to the damaged tissues along with immunogenic agents to combat infection. The
result is swelling, tenderness, pain, heat, and redness if it is close to the skin.
Tendonitis symptoms include
- Pain and tenderness along a tendon, usually in proximity to a joint (hip pain, knee
pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, wrist pain, or pain in other joints)
- Pain is worse with movement or activity
- Pain at night
