Tendons connect bone to muscles. Tendonitis or Tendinitis is an inflammation or irritation of a tendon. This may be caused by any repetitive action such as gardening, carpentry, tennis etc. It could also be caused by a sudden injury. Incorrect posture, poor bone alignment, medical conditions such as arthritis, sudden overuse of a joint that has not been used much or infection could also lead to tendonitis.

Symptoms

• Pain that gradually builds up or is sudden and severe
• Limited motion or loss of motion

If the condition is severe and the symptoms are not relieved through resting, icing, anti-inflammatory drugs and topical gels, you should consult a doctor for advanced treatments.
