Thumb tenosynovitis

The most unbearable feeling for people is pain. Pain is often described as a feeling that goes deep into the bones. However, because people do not pay attention to some of the signals given by the body in life, they usually do not react until the pain reaches the bone marrow. But the treatment at this time is very painful. For example, thumb tenosynovitis can cause many people to toss and turn at night just because of the pain.

So what exactly is thumb tenosynovitis? How serious is its impact on the body? What are the treatments? Which treatment is the most effective? Which treatment has less impact on the body? I believe that many people with this disease will have various problems like these.

Thumb tenosynovitis refers to tenosynovitis of the flexor pollicis longus at the first metacarpal head and tenosynovitis of the flexor tendons at the metacarpal heads of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th fingers. Treatment of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Tenosynovitis belongs to the category of "injury to tendons" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is caused by excessive local labor, accumulated strain on tendons, or exposure to cold, which leads to stagnation of Qi and blood and inability to nourish the tendons, causing the disease. External application of Wan Jin treatment is the external treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine. The principle of external treatment is the same as the principle of internal treatment, and the medicine for external treatment is the same as the medicine for internal treatment. The only difference is the method! The medical principles and medicinal properties are the same, but the principles are magical and changeable. Blockade therapy: It can relieve early-stage tenosynovitis and should be performed once a week. Blockade therapy usually causes greater damage to local tissues and is prone to recurrence. Severe patients can choose surgical treatment. Finger flexion and extension exercises should be performed early after surgery to prevent tendon adhesion. Manual labor should be avoided within 1 month after surgery. Surgical treatment: After surgery, choose a suitable splint for fixation. When non-surgical treatment is ineffective, acupuncture or tenotomy may be used. Make an incision at the transverse palmar crease and use vascular forceps to separate directly to the tendon sheath to avoid damaging the digital vascular nerve bundle.

From the above introduction, we can understand that thumb tenosynovitis refers to inflammation of the bone part, which is generally caused by overwork or cold. Treatment methods are mainly divided into traditional Chinese medicine treatment, closed treatment and surgical treatment. Surgery is of course the fastest, but traditional Chinese medicine causes the least damage to the body. The specific choice depends on what the patient pays more attention to.
