Are there medical conditions that make one prone to tedonitis and muscle sprains?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Various: In general if you have any medical condition that keeps you from exercising either cardio or weight training, you will be prone to tendonitis and muscle sprains. What keeps pts from developing these condition is regular exercise at least 20 minutes 3-4 times a week. If you are overweight, have heart failure or have osteoporosis, you may be at increase risk of tendonitis and muscle sprains.

Ankle sprain over a year ago. Followed by chronic ankle instability, peroneal tendonitis and Achilles tendonitis. Have done PT for all conditions. Ankle is still unstable when tested by doctor, but no ligament tear. Are these injuries related?
Had peroneal tendonitis a couple months ago and now sprained same tendon. Will this tendonitis affect healing? No swelling, but ankle is really sore.
