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 commonly affects areas such as the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles due to repetitive overuse or injury. These areas have tendons that are frequently subjected to stress and strain during daily activities or sports.
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.
What I come to understand is that STEMS is a treatment where they actually inject Stem cells in the area which has tendonitis. if you would like more info in regards to treatments that are said to be extremely great for people with tendonitis here is a link below: http://www.weilab.com/index.html
That would be the knee.
Tendonitis is inflammation, irritation, and swelling of a tendon, which is the fibrous structure that joins muscle to bone. While Tendonitis can effect any tendon it is not common to find Tendonitis in the deltoid tendon. The deltoid muscle is a large triangular muscle covering the shoulder joint and serving to abduct and flex and extend and rotate the arm. Most often pain in the shoulder has to do with the Rotator Cuff muscles or arthritis in the shoulder joint.

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.
It would depend on the severity of your tendonitis and what tendons are affected. If you have tendonitis and want to train for a marathon, you should see your doctor before starting any sort of training program.
There are several sites where you can gain information about the medical condition tendonitis and see ways to treat and possibly prevent it. One of those sites is orthopedics.about.com. There you can find a lot of needed information about tendonitis.
Yes there is a doctor that specializes in ankle tendonitis. This type pf doctor is called a Podiatrist. Most times people start with a trip to their family doctor who can diagnose tendonitis and make recommendations as to how to treat the problem. In cases of sever tendonitis a family doctor may recommend seeing a Podiatrist.
