Soft tissue "rheumatism" in sports.
Pain and stiffness of the injured region after prolonged periods of inactivity is commonly encountered following soft tissue injuries in sports. The injury in most of these instances is due to stress failure although occasionally an acute injury with a protracted course in recovery may develop similar symptoms. The most common of these condition are the enthesopathies, that include tendonitis and fasciitis, sprains and strains, bursitis, tenovaginitis and the fibrositis syndrome.
