And so, the court system comes down very hard on DUI offenders. The first offense of driving under the influence is a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor is different from a felony in that the maximum penalty for a misdemeanor is up to one year in jail, while the minimum penalty for a felony is one year or more. The maximum jail sentence for driving under the influence is 364 days in the county jail.
Tendons are thick cords that join your muscles to your bones. When these tendons become irritated or inflamed, it is called tendinitis. This condition causes acute pain and tenderness, making it difficult to move the affected joint.Tendinitis can be a result of an injury, repetitive movement, aging, or disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis.f your condition is more severe, your doctor may also recommend: 1  corticosteroid injections: a single injection can reduce pain and inflammation, but repeated injections can cause the tendon to weaken and increase your chances of injury.
Tendons must therefore be in continuity with both muscle and bone if the muscle is to move the joint. Tendons can be disrupted either by a sharp injury (where the tendon is divided by, for instance, a kitchen knife), or an overstretching of a joint (where the tendon is torn off the bone - an avulsion injury). Some diseases will cause the tendons to become thinner and weaker, so that they are unable to transfer the normal forces, and tear easily (attrition).
