Ankle Tendonitis on POCUS

A well-appearing  patient presents with lateral ankle pain that is worse with movement. On POCUS the tendon (highlighted orange) appears intact but there is free fluid  (indicated in blue) around it. Given her well-appearing presentation, these findings are consistent with a tendonitis from overuse.
