Bursitis & Tendinitis

Signs & Symptoms

What are the Types of Tendinitis?

Depending on where tendinitis is located, the tenderness and (sometimes) swelling can produce specific types of pain:

  • Tennis elbow.
  • Achilles tendinitis. This form causes pain just above your heel.

Symptoms of Bursitis and Tendinitis

Tendons and bursae are soft tissues located near joints. Inflamed soft tissues will often be felt by patients as joint pain and may be mistaken for arthritis because the symptoms of bursitis and tendonitis are similar.
