tendonitis (also called ' tendinitis ') means "tendon inflammation. " with most medical terms the "-itis" suffix stands for inflammation. tendons are bands of strong fibrous tissue that connect muscles to bones. they can become inflamed for a variety of reasons from injury to over-use. my question regarding your question would be: have you actually been diagnosed with tendinitis in so many locations or are you self-diagnosing based on prior medical history? what i mean is if a person receives a diagnosis of tendinitis of the ankle and then has a similar pain in the shoulder area he or she might assume the pain is a result of tendinitis. that is not necessarily the case. if you have not obtained a medical diagnosis for your new shoulder pain please see a healthcare provider. many conditions can cause pain that feels like tendinitis. but if it's not tendinitis you want to get the appropriate treatment for the real problem. wishing you well! yes i have been diagnosed over the past 6 years or so. this latest one today.
