Shoulder Tendinitis
This a condition whereby injury to a tendon within of your shoulder becomes irritated and inflamed. Commonly when there is an acute bout of inflammation this is know a shoulder tendinitis. But you may have come across teams such as rotator cuff tendinosis or tendinopathy, implying that the inflammation has more of a chronic nature and may be associated with degeneration (wear and tear).
Shoulder tendinitis is commonly caused from repetitive microtrauma to the rotator cuff tendons and often tendon impingement at the shoulder, causing the rotator cuff tendon becomes inflamed and swollen. Shoulder tendinitis can also be commonly associated with shoulder bursitis.
