When tendons become inflamed and get caught in the narrow space between the bones within the shoulder joint is called?
Inpingement Syndrome
Syndrome occur when the tendons that pass through the carpal tunnel are chronically overused and become inflamed and swollen?
carpal tunnel syndrome.
What is shoulder bursitis?
The bursa are pads that are between tendons and bone. They protect the tendon from wear from rubbing over the bone but sometimes can themselves become inflamed (bursitis). It is usually related to over-use.
Where is bursa found near the shoulder area?
Bursitis is a condition in which there is an inflammation of the bursa, which is a sac that is located between muscles or tendons of the shoulder. A cause of shoulder bursitis can be overuse of the shoulder joint. This condition can cause pain.
Are there tendons in the armpit?
Yes, there are tendons in the armpit, primarily associated with the muscles that cross this area. The tendons connect the muscles of the shoulder and upper arm, such as the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, to the bones of the shoulder girdle and upper arm.

Even if the tendon is avascular, it can still become inflamed due to overuse.
What is subacromial space?
The subacromial space is a narrow passageway located beneath the acromion, a bony prominence of the scapula (shoulder blade). This space is important for the passage of tendons, such as the rotator cuff tendons, and other soft tissues in the shoulder joint. Impingement or compression of structures in the subacromial space can lead to shoulder pain and dysfunction.
