How is hand tenosynovitis treated

summary

Tendon sheath is very important and plays a great role in fixing, protecting and lubricating the tendon. It can prevent the tendon from friction or compression. However, if the tendon is excessively rubbed for a long time, the sheath will be damaged, causing swelling and inflammation. Tenosynovitis is not serious, but if not treated, it is likely to cause permanent inconvenience. Tenosynovitis of the hand usually refers to tenosynovitis of the wrist and fingers, usually caused by injury, overwork or arthritis. The treatment of tenosynovitis is to eliminate inflammation, relieve pain and restore normal function. Now I'd like to introduce how to treat tenosynovitis of the hand

How is hand tenosynovitis treated

First: to treat tenosynovitis, it can be overcome by rest and hot compress. Oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can be used, supplemented by anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointment for external use. This combination of internal and external treatment can generally be cured. If the situation is serious, surgery is needed to remove the sheath.

Second: usually pay attention to correct some bad habits, because some casual habits may be the culprit of tenosynovitis. For example, to develop the habit of washing hands with warm water, it is better not to use cold water. Warm water can reduce the damage of scabbard. Usually, if you feel uncomfortable, you can do some mild hand exercises, such as rotating the wrist, which can exercise the hand muscles, promote blood circulation and slow down hand fatigue.

Third: in the case of washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, or knitting at home, you should pay attention to the posture of your fingers and wrists. Don't bend too much. It's better not to lift heavy objects. If you use too much force on your fingers and wrists, it's easy to cause serious wear on the scabbard, inflammation and pain.

In addition, if people who work by hand, such as computer workers, can't work for a long time, rub their fingers, move their wrists, or soak their hands in hot water. Also pay attention to washing clothes in winter, it is best to wear gloves to prevent cold hands. Mobile phones can't stay in hand for a long time.
