Tendinitis is inflammation, irritation, and swelling of a tendon, which is the fibrous structure that joins muscle to bone. In many cases, tendinosis (tendon degeneration) is also present.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top

Tendinitis can occur as a result of injury, overuse, or with aging as the tendon loses elasticity. It can also be seen in systemic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes. Tendinitis can occur in any tendon, but some commonly affected sites are the shoulder, the wrist, the heel (Achilles tendonitis), and the elbow.

Your tendons connect the muscles to your bones. Tendonitis is inflammation of these tendons and so using the muscle and pulling the tendon becomes painful.
The most common cause is overuse often from starting exercise that you're not used to.
It can also be due to old age as the tendons become less supple. It can also be caused if the tendon does not have a smooth path to glide along and might need realigning by your physio (or surgeon!).
Good luck.

On preliminary examination, tendonitus became into probably the likely reason. The brace and the ibuprofen are there to alleviate the swelling. in many circumstances, it takes 5-7 days. in the journey that your indicators do no longer advance via then, revisit your physician.
