Tendinitis causes pain and tenderness just outside a joint. Some common names for tendinitis identify with the sport or movement that typically increases risk for tendon inflammation. They include tennis elbow, golferâs elbow, pitcherâs shoulder, swimmerâs shoulder, and jumperâs knee. Some common examples follow.iceps tendinitis causes pain in the front or side of the shoulder and may travel down to the elbow and forearm. Pain may also occur when the arm is raised overhead. The biceps muscle, in the front of the upper arm, helps stabilize the upper arm bone (humerus) in the shoulder socket.
Humans in many cultures have found uses for lichens â as food, fiber, medicine and poison, dyes, decoration, and, in some parts of the world, as perfume. Many kinds of lichen can be eaten; only a few are poisonous.
Lichens thrive in undisturbed sites where nothing else will grow. They grow on rocks, barren soil and the bark of dead or live trees. Lichens are not parasitic when they grow on trees, they just use the tree bark as a home. They enrich the soil by trapping water, dust and silt. When lichens die they contribute organic matter to the soil, improving the soil so that other plants can grow there. Lichens Fix Nitrogen Due to their association with algae, lichens are able to convert nitrogen in the air into nitrates, which they need for their growth.
