Tendinitis

La tendinitis es la inflamación, irritación e hinchazón de un tendón y puede ocurrir como resultado de una lesión, uso excesivo de esa parte o por el envejecimiento a medida que el tendón pierde elasticidad. Cualquier acción que ponga tensión repetitiva y prolongada en los músculos del antebrazo puede causar tendinitis. Los síntomas más comunes de esta condición son el dolor, la sensibilidad y el incremento del dolor con el movimiento.
