Inflammation of tendons, the flexible tissues connecting muscles to bones, causes tendinitis. This repetitive stress injury may affect the elbow, shoulder, or wrist. Often, people with poor posture or technique during activities such as golf, tennis, or baseball develop tendinitis. Infections can also cause tendonitis to develop. In rare cases, the condition can also occur due to a cat or dog bite.
