Ligament Bone and Tendon Bone Inflammation . Enthesitis Symptoms

Inflammation of the entheses, the anatomical junctions (insertions) where the bone meets a ligament or a tendon, cause pain in the local areas, persistent stiffness around the joint and swelling of insertions such as where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel. If there is obvious joint swelling and other relevant symptoms then the diagnosis of an arthritic condition known as a spondyloarthritis is moderately clear. If the extra symptoms are not present the diagnosis is more difficult and patients may be referred for consideration of more localised musculoskeletal conditions such as sports or overuse injuries.

The pain, stiffness and swelling which typically accompany enthesitis commonly occur at the Achilles tendon and patellar tendon insertions but may also be present in the sole of the foot near the heel, in the elbows where tennis elbow typically occurs, around other ligament insertions of the knee and in the spine. Joint swelling which gives an effusion (water in a joint) may occur to confirm the diagnosis. Despite inflammatory changes of an arthritic disease obviously occurring in some patients the blood markers of inflammatory processes may not be raised, making it easy to miss the diagnosis in the absence of confirmatory tests.
