Tendonitis Tendonitis is an inflammation in or around a tendon, a band of fibrous tissue that connects a muscle to a bone. Tendons are designed to withstand bending, stretching, and twisting, but they can become inflamed because of overuse, disease, or injuries that produces torn fibers or other damage. The pain can become worse if damage progresses because of continued use of the joint. Most tendonitis heals in about two weeks, but chronic tendonitis can take more than six weeks, this most often occurs with people who don't give the tendon time to heal. Diseases such as diabetes and arthritis can slow healing. Tendons become inflamed when they are overused from any activity. Athletes who only exercise even now and then rather than regularly often have sore tendons. But by far the most common cause is repetitive stress using the same joints for the same stressful movements over and over. This happens mostly in sports but also in many types of office work and other situations.
