Repetitive motions, a common cause, In sports, in labor, without pause, Overuse, without a moment's loss, Leaves tendons wounded, in their straits.
Tennis elbow, a familiar foe, On the outside, where the muscles grow, Golfer's elbow, strikes an inside blow, In the quest for a perfect throw.
Achilles, in your heel, resides, The calf's connection, where it abides, But tendinitis there may often chide, With each step, a painful slide.
Rotator cuff, the shoulder's grace, With tendinitis, it can lose its place, Painful twinges in that space, Make simple motions seem a race.
Patellar tendon, kneecap's thread, Connects to shinbone, where it's spread, Inflamed, it can cause you dread, And limit the movement where you tread.
Pain, stiffness, a reduced range, Inflammation's grip, hard to change, With movement, the aches exchange, Tendinitis' challenge, its range.
To heal the tendons, rest they need, Ice, compression, and elevation, indeed, Anti-inflammatories, a trusted creed, For pain and swelling to recede.
Physical therapy, bracing's aid, In the healing journey, they're not swayed, Support and strength, in them, conveyed, To guide the path, where health is laid.
In severe cases, when all else fails, Corticosteroids may set the sails, Or surgery, when tendons' trails, Need repair from life's harsh gales.
Address tendinitis, don't delay, Prevent it from leading you astray, For chronic woes, it may convey, Seek help and let the pain decay.
In the realm of tendons' plight, Tendinitis, a challenge we must fight, With care and treatment, day and night, To restore the body's healthy light.
