Diagnosis
By definition, diagnosis is "a determining or analysis of the cause or nature of a problem." Too often this definition becomes overlooked and a diagnosis ends up being a label applied loosely to a painful location. (More)
Inflammation
Tendinitis vs. Tendinosis
Definitions:
Tendinitis: Rare. Inflammatory condition involving a tendon (the structure that attaches muscle to bone). Usually resolves fully within a few weeks.
Tendinosis: Common. Degeneration of a tendon that occurs in the absence of inflammation. Often becomes a chronic condition lasting for weeks, months, even years.
