- What it is
- The NHS condition page on tendonitis, inflammation of a tendon. It lists the main symptoms, when to see a GP and how mild tendon problems are usually managed.
- How much weight it carries
- Official UK public health information from the NHS. It describes common symptoms in general terms and does not give a diagnostic test, so it cannot separate tendonitis from nerve problems on its own.
Facts taken from this source
- The NHS lists the main symptoms of tendonitis as pain in a tendon that gets worse when you move, difficulty moving the joint, a grating or crackling feeling, and swelling.
