'''Tendinitis''' or '''tendonitis''' (from the [[Greek language|Greek]] Τενοντίτις. The suffix "itis" means inflammation. The term tendinitis should be reserved for tendon injuries that involve larger-scale acute injuries accompanied by inflammation. Tendinitis is often confused with the more common [[tendinosis]], which has similar symptoms but requires different treatment.<ref>{{cite journal | last =Khan | first =K.M. | coauthors =Cook, J.L., Kannus, P., Maffulli, N., Bonar, S.F. | title =Time to abandon the "tendinitis" myth: Painful, overuse tendon conditions have a non-inflammatory pathology | journal =British Medical Journal | volume =324 | pages =626–627 | date =2002-03-16 | url =http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/324/7338/626 | doi =10.1136 | accessdate = 2007-04-02 | pmid =11895810 | doi_brokendate =2008-06-28 }}</ref> Generally tendinitis is referred to by the body part involved, such as [[Achilles tendinitis]] (affecting the [[Achilles tendon]]), or patellar tendinitis ([[jumper's knee]], affecting the [[patellar tendon]]). |

==Diagnosis== |
|||
'''Humboldt County''' is located on the far [[North Coast, California|North Coast]] of [[California]]. In the [[2000 census (USA)|2000 census]], the [[list of California counties|county]] had a population of 126,518. The majority of residents live in or near [[Eureka, California|Eureka]], the [[county seat]], and the smaller college town of [[Arcata]], home to [[Humboldt State University]]. Both cities are located adjacent to [[Humboldt Bay (United States)|Humboldt Bay]], California's second largest natural bay.<ref>[http://www.humboldtbay.org/ Discover Humboldt Bay]. - Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District. - Retrieved: 2008-07-13</ref> Area cities and towns are known for hundreds of ornate examples of [[Victorian architecture]]. |
|||
Swelling in a region of micro damage or partial tear can be detected visually or by [[palpation|touch]]. Symptoms can vary from an ache or pain and [[stiffness]] to the local area of the tendon, or a burning that surrounds the whole [[joint]] around the inflamed tendon. With this condition, the pain is usually worse during and after activity, and the tendon and joint area can become stiffer the following day as swelling impinges on the movement of the tendon. Many patients report stressful situations in their life in correlation with the beginnings of pain which may contribute to the symptoms. If the symptoms of tendinitis last for several months or longer is probably [[tendinosis]]. |
|||
==Treatment== |

Humboldt is a densely forested, rural [[county (United States)|county]] situated in [[Northern California|Northern California's]] rugged [[North Coast Ranges|Coast (Mountain) Ranges]]. With nearly {{convert|1500000|acre|km2}} of combined public and private forest in production, Humboldt County accounts for twenty percent of the total [[forest product]]ion for all of California.<ref>[http://anrcatalog.ucdavis.edu/pdf/8070.pdf Forestry, Forest Industry, and Forest Products Consumption in California].

|||
Standard treatment of tendon injuries is largely [[palliative]]. Use of [[non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug]]s combined with rest, orthotics or braces, and gradual return to exercise is a common therapy. |
|||
As [[tendinosis]] is more common than tendinitis, and has similar symptoms, tendinitis is often initially treated the same as [[tendinosis]] would be. This helps reduce some of the long-term risks. |
|||
==History== |
|||
The original inhabitants of the area now known as Humboldt County include the [[Wiyot]], [[Yurok]], [[Hupa]], [[Karuk]], [[Chilula]], [[Whilkut]], and the southern Athabascans, including the [[Mattole]] and [[Nongatl]].<ref name="VanKirkS-HCL-1999-05">Van Kirk, Susie. - [http://www.humboldthistory.org/briefhist.html "Humboldt County: A Briefest of Histories"]. - Humboldt County Library. - (c/o [[Humboldt County Historical Society]]). - May 1999</ref> Humboldt County was formed in 1853 from parts of [[Trinity County, California|Trinity County]]. The first recorded entry by people of [[Europe]]an origin was a landing by the Spanish in 1775.<ref name="VanKirkS-HCL-1999-05" /> |
|||
== Common tendinitis injuries == |
|||
The county derived its name from [[Humboldt Bay (United States)|Humboldt Bay]]. The first recorded entry of Humboldt Bay by non-natives was an 1806 visit from a [[sea otter]] hunting party from [[Sitka]] employed by the [[Russian American Company]].<ref name="VanKirkS-HCL-1999-05" /> The hunting party included Captain Jonathan Winship, an [[United States|American]], and some [[Aleut]] hunters.<ref name="VanKirkS-HCL-1999-05" /><ref name="CAHLs">[http://ceres.ca.gov/geo_area/counties/Humboldt/landmarks.html Humboldt County State Designated Historical Landmarks]. - California Historical Landmarks</ref> The bay was not visited again by people of European origin until 1849 when Josiah Gregg's party visited.<ref name="CAHLs" /> In 1850, [[Douglas Ottinger]] and [[Hans Buhne]] entered the bay, naming it Humboldt in honor of the great naturalist and world explorer, Baron [[Alexander von Humboldt]]. |
|||
Tendinitis injuries are common in the upper and lower limbs (including the [[rotator cuff]] attachments), and are less common in the hips and torso. Individual variation in frequency and severity of tendinitis will vary depending on the type, frequency and severity of exercise or use; for example, rock climbers tend to develop tendinitis in their fingers, swimmers in their shoulders. [[Achilles tendinitis]] is a common injury, particularly in sports that involve lunging and jumping while [[Patella]]r tendinitis is a common among [[basketball]] and [[volleyball]] players owing to the amount of jumping and landing.<ref>{{cite web |last = Mayo Clinic | url = http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/patellar-tendinitis/DS00625 | title = Patellar tendinitis | authorlink = Mayo Clinic | accessdate = 2007-06-04 | year = 2007 }}</ref> |
|||
A veterinary equivalent to Achilles tendinitis is [[bowed tendon]], tendinitis of the superficial digital flexor tendon of the [[horse]]. |
|||
The area around Humboldt Bay was once solely inhabited by the [[Wiyot people|Wiyot]] [[Native Americans in the United States|Indian]] tribe. One of the largest Wiyot villages, [[Tolowot]], was located on [[Gunther Island]] (AKA Indian Island and AKA [[Bloody Island]]) in Humboldt Bay. Founded circa 900, it contains a shell [[midden]] 6 acres (24,000 m²) in size and 14 feet (4 m) deep. It was the site of the February 26, 1860 massacre of the Wiyot people that was recorded by [[Bret Harte]], then living in Union, now called [[Arcata, California|Arcata]]. Between 60 and 200 Wiyot men, women, and children were murdered that night. In 1998, musician [[Frank Black]] wrote and recorded a song about this event, called "Humboldt County Massacre." Tolowot is now an archaeological site, designated [[Gunther Island Site 67]], and is a [[National Historic Landmark]].<ref name="CAHLs" /> |
|||
State historic landmarks in Humboldt County include [[Trinidad Head]], [[Fort Humboldt]], The Old Arrow Tree, Centerville Beach Cross, Camp Curtis, the Town of [[Trinidad, California|Trinidad]], the City of [[Eureka, California|Eureka]], California's first drilled oil wells in [[Petrolia, California|Petrolia]], the [[Jacoby Building]], the Old Indian Village of [[Tsurai]] in Trinidad, the Arcata and Mad River Railroad Company, the Humboldt Harbor Historical District, and the town of [[Ferndale, California|Ferndale]].<ref name="CAHLs" /> |
|||
On February 5 and February 6, 1885, Eureka's entire [[China|Chinese]] population of 300 men and 20 women were expelled after a gunfight between rival Chinese gangs (tongs) resulted in the wounding of a 12 year old boy and the death of 56 year old David Kendall, a Eureka City Councilman. After the shooting, an [[angry mob]] of 600 Eurekans met and then informed the Chinese that they were no longer wanted in Eureka and would be [[hanged]] if they were to stay in town longer than 3 p.m. the next day. They were put on two steamships and shipped to [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]]. No-one was killed in the expulsion. Another Chinese expulsion occurred during 1906 in a cannery on the [[Eel River (California)|Eel River]], in which 23 Chinese cannery workers were expelled after local loggers objected to their presence. However, some Chinese remained in the [[Orleans, California|Orleans]] area, where some white landowners sheltered and purchased food for the Chinese mineworkers until after racial tension passed. Chinese did not return to the coastal cities until the 1950s.<ref>Easthouse, Keith. - [http://www.northcoastjournal.com/022703/cover0227.html "The Chinese Expulsion: Looking Back on a Dark Episode"]. - ''[[North Coast Journal]]''. - February 27, 2003. - Retrieved: 2006-11-26</ref> |
|||
==Climate== |
|||
The coastal areas of the county experience wet, cool winters and dry, mild foggy summers. Winter highs usually range from the low 40s to the upper 50s, and winter lows on the coast usually range from the 40s into the 30s. The immediate coastal zone experiences a number of frosty nights in winter and early spring, though snowfall and hard freezes are rare. Winter rainstorms are frequent, with coastal areas averaging from 30 to {{convert|100|in|mm}} a year based on elevation. Summers on the coast are cool to mild with frequent fog. Yet just 10 or {{convert|20|mi|km}} inland one can find abundant sunshine and warmth. Thus coastal residents often head eastward in the summer to escape the gloomy cold summer fog. Summer highs range from the mid-50s to upper 60s, with lows in the upper 40s to mid-50s. Record highs at Woodley Island for most summer days are in the low to mid-70s. |
|||
Inland areas of the county also experience wet, cool winters. Snowfall is common at elevations over {{convert|3000|ft|m|abbr=on}} throughout the winter months. The main climatic difference between inland areas and the coast takes place in the summer months. Inland parts of Humboldt County experience average highs from the 80s to 90s depending on the elevation and distance from the ocean. 100 degree days are also common in eastern parts of the county including Orleans, Hoopa, and Willow Creek during the summer. |
|||
==Geography== |
|||
According to the [[United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of 4,052 square miles (10,495 km²), of which, 3,572 square miles (9,253 km²) of it is land and 480 square miles (1,243 km²) of it (11.84%) is water. |

==Agriculture== |
|||
Humboldt County is known for its impressive redwood trees, and many acres of private redwood timberland make Humboldt the top timber producer in California. The lush river bottoms adjacent to the ocean are renowned for producing rich, high-quality dairy products. Somewhat more inland the warmer valleys have historically produced abundant apples and other fruit. More recently vinyards have been planted in the Trinity, Klamath, and upper Eel river valleys. |
|||
===Marijuana=== |
|||
Humboldt County is also widely known for its high potency strains of [[Cannabis (drug)|marijuana]], which are grown outdoors and increasingly indoors. Growers of relatively small amounts are protected under county guidelines for medicinal use under the auspices of [[California Proposition 215 (1996)|California Proposition 215]]. David Samuels of ''[[The New Yorker]]'' describes the county as "the heartland of high-grade marijuana farming in California."<ref name="SamuelsD-TNY">Samuels, David. - A Reporter at Large: [http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/07/28/080728fa_fact_samuels "Dr. Kush: How medical marijuana is transforming the pot industry"]. - ''[[The New Yorker]]''. - July 28, </ref> The 2008 independent film, [[Humboldt County (film)|Humboldt County]], gives viewers the opportunity to peer into the first major film adaptation of of the local Marijuana production counterculture. |

|||
===Public transportation=== |
|||
*[[Humboldt Transit Authority]] operates two fixed route [[transit bus]] systems: |
|||
**[[Redwood Transit System]] provides [[intercity bus|intercity]] service to and within communities between Trinidad and Scotia, with occasional service to Manila and Loleta. HTA also offers service between McKinleyville or Arcata and Willow Creek and an [[express bus]] between Arcata and College of the Redwoods when classes are in session. |
|||
**[[Eureka Transit Service]], operated in the City of Eureka, provides [[local bus|local]] service on four scheduled routes (one hour [[headway]]) in Eureka and its adjacent unincorporated communities. Connections can be made to the Redwood Transit System at several places in Eureka. |
|||
*[[Arcata and Mad River Transit System]], operated by the City of Arcata with funding from Humboldt State University. A&MRTS provides fixed route local bus service on two scheduled routes (one hour headway) in Arcata and an additional route between the Valley West Neighborhood and the university when classes are in session. |
|||
*The city of Blue Lake and the [[Blue Lake Rancheria]] operates the [[Blue Lake Rancheria Transit Authority]]. Blue Lake Rancheria Transit provides fixed route intercity transit bus service (one hour headway) between Arcata and the Blue Lake Rancheria [[Indian Reservation]] and [[Indian casino|casino]] and local service within the city of Blue Lake. |
|||
*[[Del Norte County, California|Del Norte county]]'s [[Redwood Coast Transit]] operates fixed route intercity transit bus service between Arcata and [[Crescent City, California|Crescent City]] or [[Smith River, California|Smith River]]. |
|||
*Amtrak Thruway bus has stops in many towns in the region, including Eureka, Arcata, and Fortuna. These stops are not managed by Amtrak and therefore have no services beyond serving passengers. Full service is only provided in the Martinez, California Train station. |
|||

Tendinitis or tendonitis (from the Greek Τενοντίτις. The suffix "itis" means inflammation. The term tendinitis should be reserved for tendon injuries that involve larger-scale acute injuries accompanied by inflammation. Tendinitis is often confused with the more common tendinosis, which has similar symptoms but requires different treatment.[1] Generally tendinitis is referred to by the body part involved, such as Achilles tendinitis (affecting the Achilles tendon), or patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee, affecting the patellar tendon).
Diagnosis
Swelling in a region of micro damage or partial tear can be detected visually or by touch. Symptoms can vary from an ache or pain and stiffness to the local area of the tendon, or a burning that surrounds the whole joint around the inflamed tendon. With this condition, the pain is usually worse during and after activity, and the tendon and joint area can become stiffer the following day as swelling impinges on the movement of the tendon. Many patients report stressful situations in their life in correlation with the beginnings of pain which may contribute to the symptoms. If the symptoms of tendinitis last for several months or longer is probably tendinosis.
Treatment
Standard treatment of tendon injuries is largely palliative. Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs combined with rest, orthotics or braces, and gradual return to exercise is a common therapy.
As tendinosis is more common than tendinitis, and has similar symptoms, tendinitis is often initially treated the same as tendinosis would be. This helps reduce some of the long-term risks.
Common tendinitis injuries
Tendinitis injuries are common in the upper and lower limbs (including the rotator cuff attachments), and are less common in the hips and torso. Individual variation in frequency and severity of tendinitis will vary depending on the type, frequency and severity of exercise or use; for example, rock climbers tend to develop tendinitis in their fingers, swimmers in their shoulders. Achilles tendinitis is a common injury, particularly in sports that involve lunging and jumping while Patellar tendinitis is a common among basketball and volleyball players owing to the amount of jumping and landing.[2]
A veterinary equivalent to Achilles tendinitis is bowed tendon, tendinitis of the superficial digital flexor tendon of the horse.
