To understand a bit more about what are we dealing with, we need to take a closer look, and learn about the anatomy of the hand structure. Today we gonna find out, about the part that we all heard about: the "Tendons"
A tendon (or sinew) is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue
that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. Tendons are similar to ligaments and fascia as they are all made of collagen except that ligaments join one bone to another bone, and fascia connect muscles to other muscles. Tendons and muscles work together and can only exert a pulling force. Normal healthy tendons are mostly composed of parallel arrays of collagen fibers closely packed together.
Tendons are subject to many types of injuries. There are various forms of tendinopathies or tendon injuries due to overuse. These types of injuries generally result in inflammation and degeneration or weakening of the tendons, which may eventually lead to tendon rupture.
That's it for now,
I hope I generated some curiosity for you to go and explore more about the subject!

I saw your Youtube video where you use the Dermaroller for your forearm. I am suffering from pain in my forearm from too much typing at work. I tried acupuncture and this helped but it is expensive. It seems logical using the dermaroller would be just as helpful and cheaper. Are you still using the Dermaroller? Does it help?
