title: Tendonitis of the wrist and elbow.
abstract: Although common and frequently transitory, tendonitis in the upper extremity may be quite disabling and resistant to treatment. The physician's best hope for a swift and successful resolution lies in a careful history of all possible precipitating causes and a precise localization of symptoms to obtain an exact diagnosis.
