How to treat right thumb tenosynovitis

Right thumb tenosynovitis is an orthopedic disease caused by inflammation of the tendon sheath. It is usually related to excessive friction and overwork. The patient's thumb will have obvious swelling and pain symptoms. In severe cases, the thumb cannot move normally. After this disease occurs, you need to go to a general hospital for examination and then choose the appropriate treatment method. Let's take a look at what to do with right thumb tenosynovitis?

1. Conservative treatment:

Right thumb tenosynovitis can be treated conservatively, mainly to allow the thumb to get enough rest. At the same time, keep warm, do not let your hands touch cold water, avoid catching a cold, and use a hot towel to warm your hands every day to relax the tendons and promote blood circulation.

2. External medication treatment:

Right thumb tenosynovitis can be treated with Voltaren ointment, which can improve pain symptoms. External ointment can also be used, which can not only promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, but also improve the symptoms of limited thumb movement.

3. Blocked therapy:

After right thumb tenosynovitis, if conservative treatment is not satisfactory, you can choose closed treatment, that is, local injection of lidocaine hydrochloride and triamcinolone acetonide. Local tenosynovial closed treatment can improve adverse symptoms, but the number of injections should not be too many, otherwise it will cause other adverse reactions.

4. Surgical treatment:

If the right thumb tenosynovitis is not well improved by conservative treatment, surgical treatment can be considered, which can fundamentally alleviate the disease and restore the flexibility of the thumb. After surgical treatment, you should rest well, take warming measures, and actively cooperate with rehabilitation training to avoid affecting the function of the thumb.

The treatment methods for right thumb tenosynovitis are as above. You need to choose the appropriate treatment method according to the severity of the disease to improve the uncomfortable symptoms. If you choose surgical treatment, you can cooperate with physical therapy to improve the treatment effect. You also need to arrange your daily diet and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement the nutrients needed by the body.
