Tendinitis is the inflammation or irritation of tendons. A tendon is a thick fibrous cord that attaches muscle to bones. It causes tenderness and pain around a joint. It can occur anywhere in the body's tendons, although it mainly occurs around the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees and heels. Tendinitis has many common names, such as; Tennis elbow, Golfer's elbow, Pitchers shoulder, Swimmer's shoulder, and Jumpers knee. If it is severe and you rupture your tendon, then surgery is a big part of getting the tendon repaired. For most people it is not severe, therefore it can be treated with rest, physical therapy, and medications. Most cases get help with self-care, although you should see a doctor when your signs and symptoms interfere with your daily activities for more than a few days.

Getting around in the packed hallways at school was annoying. I had to explain was tendinitis was to many of people that never heard of it before. One day we had a practice fire drill and the spot we were supposed to go was across the field. I had to hop across a muddy field, packed with kids, with crutches I was barely used to. But my friends were laughing while watching me slowly swing across the football field and it was pretty funny to see. I ended up not playing on the team. I'd show up to some of the practices and do homework on the side while they got ready for a game. With shoe inserts and some physical therapy my ankles got back to normal. It wasn't a terrible disease or sickness, but it was still something that got in the way everyday, and I'll never forget the interesting experience. I don't play any sports so I haven't had any issues with it sense. But now I know how to handle it if I ever was to get that feeling my my ankles
Supraspinatus tendonitis typically occurs when there is an impingement of the supraspinatus muscle of the shoulder joint between the acromion as it passes by the acromion and humerus head. In response, the supraspinatus tendon and the contiguous peritendinous soft tissues become inflamed. The supraspinatus is a muscle located in the supraspinatus fossa of the scapula located in the shoulder and is largely affected by supraspinatus tendonitis. The supraspinatus allows for the abduction of the shoulder and its insertion is the greater tuberosity of the humerus. Tendonitis is the inflammation of a tendon and commonly occurs in the elbows, knees, and shoulders. Therefore, supraspinatus tendonitis is the inflammation of the supraspinatus. This condition is a very common inflammatory problem because it can be caused by the abduction of the arm, which is involved in many sports and activities.

I have always played the same three sports in elementary school, baseball, soccer and basketball but the summer before 7th grade I wanted the try something new and play football but because I didn't know much about it I was having a hard time deciding if I was going to play or not. But When football season came around i signed up.
I played Cornerback on the football team and Point Guard for the basketball team; I was a starter on both. I love basketball more than football but I still gave it my hardest in football. Eventually, that cost me. We were 4-0, heading to our 5th game and that week of practice turned out to change my whole senior year
The conduction of the Apley’s Scratch Test and Gerber’s Lift off Test along with the MRI scans was to identify Rotator Cuff Tendonitis. These tests trial the movement of the rotator cuff to see how the limitations of movement correspond with the receptance of pain. With Rotator Cuff Tendonitis, the individual will experience uncomfortable pain during movement and at night. Occurrence will happen if the individual holds the arm at a certain position for long periods of time, such as working on the computer for continuous hours, branching with poor posture. Another contribution to the occurrence is the individual’s participation in activities that needs the arm to actively and continuously maneuver
The first year I played goalie. It was a lot of fun, but it also hurt. The first game of the season we played at the Avanti's dome. We had a team meeting right before the start of the game.

The two most common ankle injuries are: Achilles Tendonitis and sprained ankles. The Achilles tendon is the tendon situated just above the back of the heel.

The second injury mentioned, sprained Ankles, which relate back to the prior mentioned acute injury, consisting of torn ligaments that connect the bones of the foot, ankle and lower leg.

When Ben and I signed up for that year we decided to play for the Otterbein team, because my school didn 't have a team and Ben was homeschooled. We then found out that there was only nine people on the team which meant that no one could miss a game because baseball needs 9 player on the field at all time.
