Tendonitis
What is Tendonitis?
Tendonitis, also called as tendinitis is an inflammation or irritation of tendons, a thick cord that holds bones to muscles. When muscles contract, tendons react, causing bones to move. Too much stress on joints can tear and inflame tendons.
Causes :
Tendonitis is most often caused by repetitive, minor impact on the affected area, or from a sudden severe injury. There are many activities that can cause tendinitis, including:- Gardening
- Raking
- Carpentry
- Shovelling
- Painting
- Scrubbing
- Tennis
- Golf
- Skiing
- Throwing and pitching
Symptoms :
The most common symptoms of Tendonitis include pain in the tendon and its surrounding area. Pain may gradually build up or be sudden and severe, especially if calcium deposits are present. Loss of motion in the shoulder, called “adhesive capsulitis” or frozen shoulder is also a symptom of Tendonitis.It is always better to prevent diseases than going through a life of pain and suffering. So here are some tips to avoid Tendinitis.- Learn the proper method and use the proper equipment for any exercise or activity.
- Work out regularly, not just once a week.
- Take up activities slow at first. Gradually build up your activity level.
- Warm up thoroughly
- Use limited force and limited repetitions.
- Stop if unusual pain occurs. Try again later and if pain recurs, stop that activity for the day.
