Don't you just hate people who know it all
It's all down to a reduced amount of synovium in the space between the tendon sheath and the stringy tendon itself. This leads to friction and consequently inflammation. Oh and pain

There's not much you can do, since over time thickening of the tendon wall occurs which leads to more friction. Just one of those of things

I'm hoping that science will provide Terminator-style replacements, in a sad but cool way
