tendonitis
Tendons attach muscles to bones and the inflammation of a tendon is called tendonitis. Tendonitis most commonly affects the tendons around the knee and the elbow .Degeneration or wearing of a tendon occurs when there is abnormal loading of the tendon and is most commonly caused by poor joint biomechanics. Early treatment from a physiotherapist is necessary to prevent acute inflammation of the tendon which can take a long time to settle down.
