What is the difference between a sprained ankle and tendonitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ligament vs. tendon: Sprains are injuries to ligaments (tissues holding bones to other bones). These are injuries of the joint capsule. Tendonitis is a disorder of tendons (tissues that connect muscles to bone).
