Symptoms of disease - pain in the joints

Tendon - the formation of connective tissue, end the structure of the cross-striped muscles, with the help of which they are attached to the bones of the skeleton.

Tendon consists of a compact parallel beams of the collagen fibers, among which are the ranks of fibrocytes. More often in the formation of tendons participates collagen type I, too, there are collagen fibers of the types III and V. Bundles of collagen are held together by a proteoglycans. In parallel, the collagen fibers are the blood vessels that have cross-anastomosis. Thanks to its structure tendons have high tensile strength and low elongation.

The form of the tendons different - from cylindrical (more often in the long muscles) to flat plate (aponeurosis broad muscles).

Which diseases there is pain in the joints

Pain in the joints is extremely common: this symptom is observed patients with nearly the same frequency, as the increase in blood pressure.

The defeat of the tendinous of the unit may be in the form of tendonitis, tendinosis and tenosynovitis.

There are three phases of development tendonitis:
1. the development of acute inflammation;
2. at the untreated inflammatory process is enhanced growth of gross connective tissue;
3. becomes chronic inflammatory and degenerative changes in the tendon can cause it to rupture.

The most often affects the tendons of the shoulder girdle and upper limbs (especially the tendons of the biceps). Predisposing factors to such injuries are monotonous movements, long-term training with insufficient breaks for rest, poor-quality sports equipment, have the meaning of the age of the athlete, incorrect technique.

Tendinosis is noninflammatory nature atrophy and degeneration of fibers inside the tendons, often associated with chronic tendinitis, which may lead to partial or complete rupture of tendons in conjunction with the pain in tendon.

Tenosynovitis - an inflammation of the paratendon, which is the outer vagina certain tendons and lined with synovial membrane (for example, the defeat of the extensor tendons of thumb brushes in tenosynovitis).

Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon, fat tissue that connects a bone and muscle.

What are the causes of tendinitis?
Tendinitis is likely to be caused by frequent loads on the affected area, as well as serious injury.
There are kinds of activities - sports and others - which increase the risk of tendonitis:
- gardening
- sgrebanie Cam rake
- carpentry
- work with a shovel
- house painting case
- cleaning (a scraper or a rigid brush)
- tennis
- Golf
- skiing
- throwing.
Improper posture at home and at work, bad stretching before physical exercises also increases the risk of tendinitis. Among other risk factors:
- deviations in the arrangement, the structure of the bones (for example, different length of the legs, arthritis joint), which increase the burden on the soft tissue;
- other diseases, for example, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, arthritis thyroid gland; the body's reaction to drugs;
"sometimes it happens that infection causes the development of tendinitis.

Who is more common tendonitis?
Tendinitis can affect anyone, however, more common in older age after 40 years. With time tendons wear out, they become more sensitive to stress, less resilient and more vulnerable.

What part of the body affects tendonitis?
Tendinitis can affect almost any part of the body, in which the tendon connects a bone and muscle.
Most often tendinitis strikes:
- the base of the thumb
- elbow
- shoulder
- thigh
- knee
- the Achilles tendon.

What are the symptoms of tendonitis?
Among the symptoms of tendonitis:
- pain in tendon and the adjacent area. The pain may gradually increase may occur suddenly and be acute, particularly in the presence of calcium;
- decrease in the mobility of the shoulder, «adhesive capsulitis», or Duplay's disease.

One of the reasons for pain in tendon are gaps healthy tendons, when the load on it becomes limitless and exceeds mechanical endurance of the tissues. Tendons are composed of a dense fibrous connective tissue. If tendon a long time experienced significant overload, it can develop degenerative-dystrophic process. Contribute to the regeneration of the tissues of the tendons of the violation of blood circulation, metabolic diseases, chronic inflammatory processes and Undertemperature.

Tendon rupture can be full or part-time and occur in the course of the tendon or in the place of his attachment to the bone. The tear-off the bone fragment is not happening. If the tendon was not a degenerative changed, the isolation from the place of his attachment is extremely rare.

This injury may be:
- tendon supraspinatus muscles in the place of its attachment to the big tubercle shoulder bone
- tendon biceps muscle in the place of its attachment to the acromial branch blades
- tendon biceps muscles, attached to the tuberosity of x-ray bone and to branch of the scapula (found very seldom).
- tendon triceps the shoulder muscles can break away from the elbow process.
"a few more common tear tendon tension (fascia) extensor finger, the dislocation in interphalangeal joint.
On the lower limbs are the most common:
- separation of the tendons of the quadriceps muscle of his shoulder, clip to the top of the patella
- separation of Achilles tendon of the heel bone hill
Breaks the rest of the tendons practically do not occur. At rupture of the tendon of the patient complains of pain in the place of separation, which appears unexpectedly, under heavy load, roll, jump. Movement in the affected muscle violated. There is edema, swelling. In complete isolation tendons the end of his associated with muscle, slipping in the course of the muscles, the muscle shortens and rises in the form of the tubercle. Tendon rupture in their course, in a location remote from the point of attachment of the upper extremities are rare, and are often incomplete.
Significantly more common among athletes are tendon rupture large muscles of the lower belt of the extremities. There are gaps:
- tendons biceps muscles of the thighs
- the tendons of the quadriceps muscle
- breaks of the Achilles tendon
All these breaks shall be accompanied by the disturbance of function of the muscles, regardless of a complete rupture or part-time. In place of the breaking there is pain in tendon, edema, hemorrhage.
