title: Tendinitis and bursitis.
abstract: Tendinitis is thought to arise from acute or chronic excessive use of a particular muscle group. Age-related changes at osseotendinous junctions may explain why tendinitis occurs most often after age 50. Bursitis often develops secondary to tendinitis. Local steroid injections are frequently palliative.
