Signs of Tendonitis
Your tendon is the part of your muscle that attaches it to your bone. The tendon is not as flexible as the softer part of your muscles, so it can be over-worn and may tear following continued repetitive motions. Some common signs of tendonitis include:
- Pain when the tendon is under pressure
- Area around your tendon is sensitive to the touch
- The area is red, swollen, lumpy or warm
- Your movement is restricted
- The area around the wound has a burning sensation
Any of these symptoms could mean you have tendonitis and may require medical treatment.
