Early symptoms of synovitis

Synovitis is a common joint disease. Its early symptoms may vary from individual to individual and usually include local swelling, pain, skin redness, changes in skin temperature, limited movement, etc.

1. Local swelling: In the early stage of synovitis, inflammatory substances will form in the synovial area due to inflammatory changes, leading to local edema. This swelling may be accompanied by a higher than normal temperature of the joint skin, which is one of the typical manifestations of synovitis.

2. Pain: Inflammatory factors stimulate the affected area, which may cause pain, tingling, soreness or swelling. The pain symptoms will be more obvious when moving or pressing the affected area. The degree and nature of the pain may vary from person to person.

3. Redness of the skin: Due to the stimulation of inflammation, the skin and mucous membranes are affected, and the local skin of patients with synovitis may show redness. This redness usually occurs together with swelling and changes in skin temperature, and is a typical sign of the early symptoms of synovitis.

4. Changes in skin temperature: The skin temperature of patients with synovitis may change, mainly because inflammatory lesions form in the synovium, interfering with local blood flow. Changes in skin temperature may manifest as an increase or decrease in local temperature, depending on the severity of the inflammation and individual differences.

5. Limited movement: As synovitis progresses, the patient's joint movement may be limited. This is mainly because joint swelling and aseptic inflammation cause an inflammatory response in the soft tissue around the knee joint, which causes poor knee joint movement and inability to flex and extend the knee properly. Limited movement may manifest as joint stiffness, inflexibility, or inability to complete certain movements.

For individuals with the above symptoms, it is recommended to go to the orthopedics department in time to complete relevant examinations, such as X-rays, arthroscopy, etc., and follow the doctor's instructions. In daily life, patients should pay attention to rest, avoid heavy physical labor, keep the affected limb warm, and reasonably consume high-nutrition foods to promote improvement of the condition.
