Symptoms of Tendinitis
Like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, tendinitis can cause wrist pain, tingling sensations, and muscle weakness. With tendinitis you may experience numbness or tingling in any finger, including your pinky.
Can tendonitis affect nerves?
Overall, the biggest different between carpal tunnel syndrome and wrist tendonitis is that one affects the nerves and the other affects the tendons.
What happens if tendonitis goes untreated?
Complications of Tendon Inflammation
If tendonitis is left untreated, you could develop chronic tendonitis, a tendon rupture (a complete tear of the tendon), or tendonosis (which is degenerative). Chronic tendonitis can cause the tendon to degenerate and weaken over time.
