What are the symptoms of tenosynovitis?

People's working environment now is very different from before, which has caused office workers to suffer from many occupational diseases, among which tenosynovitis is a relatively common one. Many white-collar friends suffer from tenosynovitis due to long hours of typing on the keyboard, working with the mouse, and frequent use of smartphones during breaks. So, what are the symptoms of tenosynovitis?
What is tenosynovitis
Tenosynovitis is an inflammatory lesion inside the tendon sheath, and the tendon sheath is a sheath-like structure surrounding the tendon, with an outer layer of fibrous tissue attached to it. It plays a role in fixing and protecting tendons on bones and adjacent tissues. The inner layer is synovium, which can nourish the tendon and secrete synovial fluid to facilitate the sliding of the tendon. Repeated excessive friction can cause inflammation and edema in the tendon and tendon sheath, and the thickening of the fibrous sheath wall can form a narrow ring. The fibrosis and thickening of the tendon can cause tendon damage. Difficulty sliding within the sheath is stenosing tenosynovitis.
Causes of tenosynovitis
Clinically, tenosynovitis has a certain age of onset, usually between 3 and 3 years old, and most of the patients are women. The male to female ratio of patients is approximately :. It is common in some occupations that require long-term repetitive activities, leading to tendon strain, such as typists, instrumentalists, bank workers, cargo handling or industries that require long-term computer operations. It may also be induced by trauma. In addition, osteoarthritis, some Immune diseases, diabetes, and even infections can also cause tenosynovitis.
Performances of tenosynovitis
After people suffer from this disease, the patient will have some corresponding symptoms. This disease has a slow onset and sometimes symptoms appear suddenly. It usually manifests as pain at the site of onset, which can radiate to the proximal or distal end, and morning stiffness may occur. Usually, the feeling of morning stiffness in joints is most obvious after getting up. With finger movements, the symptoms of morning stiffness can be gradually relieved, but the pain symptoms do not persist. It will be significantly relieved with frequent activities.
The treatment of tenosynovitis
Generally, drugs are not the main method, and many drugs for tenosynovitis are not accepted by patients. On the one hand, "drugs are three parts poisonous", and the side effects of drugs are also very harmful. In terms of drug treatment, the efficacy is not as strong as external treatment and other methods, and it is easier to be absorbed by the affected area. So what ointment is best to use? "Jingzhu tendon Xiaole" is carefully blended with many precious Chinese medicinal materials such as blood root, fangji, safflower, earthworm, peach kernel, Dipsacus and so on. It follows the principles of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and is applied directly to the skin. The traditional Chinese medicine contained in it is absorbed through the skin and participates in blood circulation, directly reaches the lesion, and is transmitted to the meridians, muscles and bones through the skin, stimulating the body's regulatory function, promoting the recovery of tendon sheath function, and achieving the purpose of rapid healing.
The above is an introduction to tenosynovitis. I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the symptoms of tenosynovitis and hopes to detect the condition as early as possible based on the symptoms. I would like to remind everyone that tendon sheaths are distributed in the human body’s wrists, metacarpal fingers, feet and shoulders, etc. Tenosynovitis can occur in the fingers, toes, wrists, ankles and shoulders, especially in the wrists and fingers. The most common, such as radial styloid sheathitis and digital tenosynovitis. Therefore, citizens, especially white-collar workers, should pay attention to precautions in these places.
