Tendons are tough cords that connect the muscle to bone. They are found at ever joint. Repeated overuse of a joint can cause damage and inflammation or swelling of the tendon. Tendons may fray or tear if they are not healthy. Tendonitis usually heals slowly. Serious damage may result if the tendons are repeatedly strained.

common names:

wrist tendonitis

elbow - epicondylitis

shoulder - rotator cuff tendonitis
- the tendons connect the bones in the shoulder to the muscles in the arm, neck, chest and back. Overuse can cause damage such as torn tendons that make it difficult to move the arm or even raise the arm.
