Many tendons run around the hand both on the palm side and also on the back of the hand. These can be involved in inflammation and any inflammation of a tendon is described as a tendonitis.

Mr. Yanni has gone over and beyond, couldn’t have wished for anyone better to have taken care of me. Thank you so much for caring, professionalism.”
