What Is Tendonitis?

Tendonitis is an overuse injury.
Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs that help cushion and decrease friction around joints.
Tendonitis and bursitis often occur together and result in an overlap of symptoms.
These may include running, dancing, doing gymnastics, performing martial arts, cycling, and playing soccer.
Iliopsoas tendonitis can also occur after hiparthroscopy.
If chronic pain persists, you may receive acortisone injectioninto your iliopsoas tendon.
The procedure is called a tenotomy.
For chronic and severe cases of iliopsoas tendonitis that require surgery, the postsurgical prognosis is usually good.
Luckily, it’s easily treated by taking appropriate rest.
