Nuggets of Wisdom
TENDONITIS:
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. These are often related to overuse syndromes through manual work, repetitive activity, sporting endeavours and also in the workplace due to repetitive keyboard use. They can also occur against the backdrop of inflammation in the joints and systemic arthritis.

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.”
