What is tenosynovitis?
Tenosynovitis is a very common disease, which usually occurs on the tendon sheath around the tendon of wrist, arm and finger. The main symptom of this disease is inflammation of the tendon sheath around the tendon, which leads to pain, stiffness and limited movement of the hand. Although this disease is usually not serious, if it is not treated in time, it may cause longer-term pain and discomfort, and may even lead to some chronic complications.

Tenosynovitis is usually caused by repeated use of hands. For example, frequent computer work, playing the piano, sports or other occupations that require manual labor may lead to this problem. Joint degeneration, trauma or some health problems may also lead to tenosynovitis.

The best way to prevent tenosynovitis is to use your hands correctly. This means that you should try to avoid reusing your hands and take necessary measures to protect them. For example, you should rest your arms and fingers in some tasks to relax them. You should also use appropriate tools and techniques to reduce the pressure on your hands.

If you have been troubled by tenosynovitis, you should take measures to treat it as soon as possible. This may include the use of ice, physical therapy or drugs to relieve pain and inflammation. In some serious cases, surgery may be needed to solve tenosynovitis.

Tenosynovitis is a very common problem, but if you take timely measures to treat it and follow the correct preventive measures, you can avoid it from bringing unnecessary trouble to your life. Remember, the most important thing in this process is to follow the doctor's advice and use your hands correctly.
