• #1 Tendonitis: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/10919-tendonitis

  Tendonitis (tendinitis) is the inflammation or irritation of a tendon that makes it swell. Tendons are strands of connective tissue between muscles and bones that help you move. This condition usually happens after a repetitive strain or overuse injury. Its common in your shoulders, elbows and knees. If you have tendonitis, youll feel pain and soreness around your affected joint, usually near where the tendon attaches to the bone. Tendonitis can be either acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). […] A healthcare provider will diagnose tendonitis after a physical exam and testing. During the exam, your provider will take a complete medical history and ask you questions about your symptoms. Theyll order tests to confirm a diagnosis. Imaging tests help your provider see your tendons and could include: An X-ray. An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).

  Biceps tendinitis is inflammation of the tendon around the long head of the biceps muscle. […] The most common isolated clinical finding in biceps tendinitis is bicipital groove point tenderness with the arm in 10 degrees of internal rotation. […] Local anesthetic injections into the biceps tendon sheath may be therapeutic and diagnostic. […] Ultrasonography is preferred for visualizing the overall tendon, whereas magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography arthrography is preferred for visualizing the intraarticular tendon and related pathology. […] The most common finding of biceps tendon injury is bicipital groove point tenderness. […] Many provocative tests (i.e., Yergason, Neer, Hawkins, and Speed tests) have been developed to isolate pathology of the biceps tendon; however, because these tests create impingement underneath the coracoacromial arch, it is difficult to rule out concomitant rotator cuff lesions.

But these tests are usually unnecessary for newly diagnosed cases. Your doctor may also assess whether you have similar problems, such as bursitis, which is inflammation of the fluid „cushion” surrounding the joints. […] Tendonitis and tendinosis are related, but different conditions that affect the tendons. Tendonitis occurs when a tendon becomes inflamed, which results in pain and stiffness. Tendonitis is generally caused by overuse of a tendon or an injury. Tendinosis happens when a tendon begins to degenerate and becomes thickened and scarred, which can be caused by aging, overuse, trauma, or osteoarthritis.

[…] „Tendonitis,” „tendinosis,” „tendinopathy,” „paratendinitis,” „enthesopathy,” and „insertional tendonitis” are among the terms used to characterize acute or chronic tendon pain. […] The common term „tendonitis” is confusing because inflammation is not often seen on histopathology. […] Throughout this review, we will use the term „tendinopathy” to refer to acute and chronic pain associated with an Achilles tendon injury not associated with tendon tear or rupture. […] Achilles tendinopathy in recreational runners, although less likely to involve rupture, accounts for 6 to 17 percent of all running injuries. […] Although evidence is limited, a number of conditions and environmental exposures may be associated with an increased risk of developing Achilles tendinopathy. […] Cold-weather training is associated with higher rates of tendon pain generally and Achilles tendinopathy specifically.

[…] There is some scientific support in the literature for the diagnosis of tenosynovitis and tendinosis as a pathologic entity. […] Actual inflammation of tendon tissue consistent with tendonitis has not been seen clearly in patho-anatomic studies. […] Conclusive evidence confirming that repetitive mechanical load is a major etiologic factor could not be found. […] Similarly, strength deficits, inflexibility, and improper equipment have not been studied in a controlled prospective manner.

  https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases–conditions/achilles-tendinitis/

  Achilles tendinitis is a common condition that occurs when the large tendon that runs down the back of the lower leg becomes irritated and inflamed. […] Simply defined, tendinitis (also spelled „tendonitis”) is acute inflammation of a tendon. Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury and often causes swelling, pain, or irritation. […] You may also come across the term „tendinopathy,” which is used to describe a condition in which the tendon develops microscopic degeneration as a result of chronic damage over time. Tendinitis, tendinosis, and tendinopathy are all common terms which essentially refer to the same problem. […] There are two types of Achilles tendinitis, based on which part of the tendon is inflamed. The two types can occur separately or at the same time. […] Achilles tendinitis is typically not related to a specific injury. The problem results from repetitive stress to the tendon.
