15 Causes of Leg Pain You Need to Know

Tendinitis

Tendinitis is basically inflammation of your tendon, a thick cord which joins the muscles to bones. When you are affected by this condition, it could be hard to move the affected joints in your legs or hamstrings. In some cases, it might lead to tenderness and acute pain. Any tendon could develop tendinitis, but you are at higher risks of developing this issue in your leg, wrist, heel, or knee. Tendinitis might also be known as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, pitcher’s shoulder, jumper’s knee, or swimmer’s shoulder. [4]
