Can finger tenosynovitis heal on its own?

Finger tenosynovitis, if it is mild and the onset time is relatively short, this type can be cured. Just avoid continuous flexion and extension of the fingers, relax the pressure sufficiently, reduce the friction between the tendon and the tendon sheath, keep warm and avoid catching cold. After the inflammation gradually subsides, the symptoms of pain will be significantly improved, and then start to move slowly, and it will gradually heal. However, if stenosing tenosynovitis occurs and there is a popping sound in the fingers, it cannot be cured and surgery or acupuncture is required to open the tendon sheath so that the tendon can move normally.

Tenosynovitis, to put it simply, is an inflammation of the tendon sheath. As long as there are tendons and tendon sheaths, it is easy to develop tenosynovitis. Tenosynovitis is divided into two types, one is aseptic tenosynovitis and the other is bacterial tenosynovitis. However, bacterial tenosynovitis includes bacterial suppurative tenosynovitis and specific streptococcal tenosynovitis such as tuberculosis. If it is suppurative tenosynovitis, it is often intervened surgically, with incision, pressure relief, cleaning, antibiotics and continuous drainage until the local fluid is clear, there is no obvious extravasation of infectious fluid, and the local tissue is swollen and there is no swelling.

If the tenosynovitis is caused by streptococcus, the above treatment should be combined with a large amount of anti-tuberculosis systemic treatment. If the tenosynovitis is caused by aseptic testing, it is more than caused by chronic muscle strain, and the cause of the disease should be controlled by traditional Chinese medicine fumigation, acupuncture and physiotherapy. The above content is for reference only. The actual medication and treatment should be based on the doctor's preoperative diagnosis and guidance.

After the occurrence of tenosynovitis, it is considered that the long-term damage of the tendon causes local swelling and pain, and there will be harmful inflammation. Mild cases can be cured. Early timely treatment, mainly rest, avoid moving the joints, and aggravate the damage of the tendon. If the condition is serious, such as swelling and fever in the tendon sheath, the movement function of the tendon may be restricted, and it cannot be cured. Targeted treatment is needed as soon as possible.
