What are the symptoms of tenosynovitis and how to treat it?

Patients with tenosynovitis may present with symptoms such as local pain, limited joint movement, fever, and arthritis in the affected area. Generally, it is necessary to alleviate the symptoms of the disease through drug treatment, local occlusion therapy, surgical treatment, etc.

1. Symptoms: There will be some differences in the symptoms of different types of tenosynovitis patients. For example, patients with tenosynovitis in the foot and ankle usually have pain and swelling in the ankle joint; Patients with biceps tenosynovitis usually have shoulder pain, limited shoulder movement, and, in severe cases, frozen shoulder.

2. Treatment: Patients can use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and diclofenac to achieve analgesic effects according to the doctor's instructions; Patients with acute serous tenosynovitis require treatment with antirheumatic drugs such as cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil. At the same time, occlusive therapy with glucocorticoid injections may also be considered. When non-surgical treatment does not have a significant effect, surgical methods such as tenosynovanotomy and decompression surgery, incision and drainage can be considered to treat the disease.

When patients have symptoms of joint discomfort, they need to seek medical attention in time and take corresponding treatment measures to alleviate the symptoms of the disease. All of the above medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor and avoid self-medication.
