HOW TENDINITIS AFFECTS YOUR LIFE
We have fibrous tissues that connect the muscles to the bones called tendons, when these become inflamed or irritated by some cause that we will name below, pain and tenderness is generated outside the joint called tendinitis.
Generally it is produced by an injury or overload in the tendon, in older adults it is common due to the loss of elasticity and some diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes.
Other specific causes that may favor tendinitis are repetitive movements for long periods of time such as sports or work activities, incorrect postures, among others.
Dr. Erika Barajas, traumatologist and orthopedist in Tijuana indicates that the joints most affected by tendinitis are the knee, shoulder, elbow, heel, thumb and wrist.
The person who suffers from it may feel progressive, sharp and intense pain when moving the joint, also during the night and stiffness in the morning, in addition to sensitivity and swelling in the area, some cases present redness and heat.
