Nursing

Use local blockade with caution: Although local blockade can reduce inflammation and relieve pain, it is not a cure. There are reports that hormone drugs can cause muscle fiber degeneration, and the deposition of drugs in the tendon sheath can cause chronic tenosynovitis.

Adjustment training: Those with mild symptoms do not need to reduce the amount of exercise, but should avoid or use the tendon less during the day to allow the tendon time to recover.

Do not apply ice: Ice application will increase the tension between the tendon sheath and tendon, and the patient will feel that local symptoms have worsened.
