Why do tendons sometimes get CALCIFIED? 🤔🦴
It’s like your body’s repair crew gets a little confused… and instead of fixing the tendon smoothly, it drops calcium deposits! 😬
Here’s what usually causes it:
🔥 Repetitive overuse: tiny injuries pile up and calcium crashes the party
🩸 Poor blood flow: some tendon spots don’t get enough “healing juice”
⚖️ Metabolic mix-ups: diabetes, thyroid, or other health quirks can mess with calcium balance
👩⚕️ Hormones: women between 30-50 are more likely to get this (thanks, estrogen!)
🧬 Genetics: some bodies just play by different rules
🚧 Healing gone wrong: instead of smooth repairs, calcium deposits sneak in
Most affected spots? Your shoulder, hip, Achilles tendon, and elbow.
💥 The worst part? It can be silent… then suddenly cause sharp pain when your body tries to clean it up!
Don’t let tendon pain slow you down — physio can help you bounce back stronger!
