What Causes Tendonitis?
Tendonitis can develop due to:
- Acute Injuries – Sudden trauma or strain on the tendon
- Overuse & Repetitive Movements – Common in athletes, laborers, and office workers
- Ergonomic Issues – Poor posture, improper workstations, or incorrect movement mechanics
Recognizing the Symptoms of Tendonitis
Common signs of tendon inflammation include:
- Pain that worsens with movement
- Tenderness when pressing on the affected area
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion
Diagnosis: Identifying Tendonitis
At OPS Surgery Center, we use advanced diagnostic tools to assess the severity of tendonitis, including:
- Comprehensive medical history and physical examination
- Imaging tests, such as MRI or ultrasound, to detect inflammation and structural damage
- Electromyography (EMG) – Assesses nerve function and muscle activity
This is a problem with a tendon in your elbow. It's called the "distal biceps tendon." It connects the biceps muscle of your upper arm to the radius bone at the elbow. With this condition, the tendon becomes painfully inflamed or irritated.
This is an inflammation of a tendon at the back of your elbow. It's called the "triceps" tendon. It anchors your upper arm's triceps muscle to the ulna (one of the bones of your forearm).
