Hello,
Tendon inflammation can be of local reason if unilateral, but both sides seem to be from systemic cause more likely.
There can be possible immunology related issue and same has to be evaluated with the presence of specific antibodies or antigens in PCR or other lab analysis so that future episodes can be prevented once the reason is found out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
