Tendinitis Can Affect Various Parts Of The Body
Tendinitis can affect various parts of the body where tendons are present. Here are some common locations, along with symptoms and treatments, including injections:
Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are both forms of tendinopathy, which is a condition involving damage or inflammation to the tendons in the elbow. Despite their names, these conditions can occur in anyone, not just tennis players or golfers.
Bursitis in the Knee, Elbow, Hip, and Shoulder.
Bursitis can be found in the knee, elbow, hip and shoulder and is a painful condition caused by inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion and lubricate the joints. These sacs help reduce friction between bones, tendons, and muscles, facilitating smooth movement.
When bursitis occurs, the affected bursa becomes inflamed, leading to pain, swelling, and limited mobility in the nearby joint. Common sites for bursitis include the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee.
