Tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendons. Tendonitis most commonly occurs with repetitive motion or strain on a specific tendon. For example: Tennis Elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, occurs more commonly in Tennis players because of the repetitive movement and strain on the lateral tendon over the bony prominence called the lateral epicondyle. As the tendon, which controls the extensor muscles of the forearm and wrist, moves over the bony prominence, irritation develops as the synovial sheath surrounding the tendon wears away resulting in tenosynovitis, as the wearing continues, the tendon itself becomes irritated and micro tears occur in the fibrous tendon resulting in inflammation of the tendon which is called tendonitis. It is difficult to differentiate between tenosynovitis and tendonitis, thus inflammation of the tendon at any stage is usually referred to as tendonitis. Bursitis can be commonly mistaken for tendonitis. Underneath the tendons is a fluid-filled sac called bursa, as the tendon rubs across the bursa, irritation and inflammation develop into bursitis. Bursitis is normally diagnosed by palpation of the bursa by pushing underneath the affected tendon. If the palpation causes pain, bursitis, if palpation of the tendon causes pain, tendonitis. Pain without stiffness or pain on stretching is normally associated with bursitis also.
Tendonitis was not discovered by a single individual. The condition has been recognized for centuries, with the term "tendonitis" being used to describe inflammation of the tendons. Treatment for tendonitis has evolved over time based on medical understanding and research.
Ice is typically recommended for acute tendonitis to reduce inflammation and pain. Heat may be used for chronic tendonitis to promote blood flow and aid in relaxation of the affected area. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for personalized treatment recommendations.
Tendonitis itself does not generally lead to disability, but it can impact daily activities and work performance. In some cases, severe or chronic tendonitis that does not respond well to treatment may result in limitations that could potentially qualify for disability accommodations. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider and possibly a legal professional to understand your individual situation.

There is no ICD-9 code found for tendinopathy. There are codes for tendonitis and they vary depending on what part of the body is being treated.
2012 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 840.6 is the code for a tendon sprain. This code can be used in regard to the sprain of muscle or tendon in the shoulder.
The CPT code is 29880 for arthroscopy that is both medial AND lateral; this is with meniscectomy. The CPT code is 29881 for arthroscopy that is medial OR lateral; this includes meniscectomy.

The recommended NSAIDs for treating tendonitis are ibuprofen and naproxen.

A tendonitis that leads to mineral deposits is referred to as calcification tendonitis. Tendinitis is when a tendon becomes inflamed, irritated, or experiences swelling.
