About
Tendonitis (or tendinopathy) is inflammation or degeneration of a tendon, usually caused by repetitive loading, overuse, or sudden increase in activity. Common sites include the Achilles tendon, rotator cuff, patella tendon, and elbow. Modern understanding favours the term 'tendinopathy' as most chronic cases involve tendon degeneration rather than active inflammation.
What it feels like
Pain at and around the affected tendon, worsened by movement
Tenderness directly on the tendon
Stiffness and aching, particularly in the morning or after rest
Mild swelling around the tendon
Pain that improves with gentle warm-up but worsens with high load
When to get help
See a doctor if there is sudden severe pain with a snap or pop that may indicate a tendon rupture — particularly the Achilles or quadriceps tendon. Also seek assessment for tendon pain that is not improving after 6–8 weeks of conservative management.
