def. tendinopathy – Tendinopathy is a broad term for persistent tendon injuries, often caused by overuse, that result in pain, swelling, and reduced function. It encompasses both acute tendonitis (inflammation) and tendinosis (collagen degeneration).
What they don’t mention is that tendinopathy can be DUE TO MENOPAUSE. Right?! Another “blessing” we get to deal with from menopause. Recently, I’ve been experiencing a “pain in the butt”, literally. On occasion my elbows ache, my knee’s ache, my hands ache & feet ache, etc. Well, FOR ME I’m pretty sure it’s TENDINOPATHY from MENOPAUSE. UGH. To better understand what I’m talking about, check out this article from Hospital For Special Surgery, as they explain Gluteal Tendinopathy (my buttocks pain).
