Tendons are the fibrous bands of tissue that connect your muscles to your bones. Sometimes when a tendon is overused or not stretched properly it can become inflamed. This is know as Tendonitis. Symptoms can include swelling in the area of the inflammation, stiffness (if it is in a joint), and an acute burning sensation. Common treatment for tendonitis includes icing, bracing, stopping the activity that caused the pain, stretching, and lots of rest.
