It is usually caused by long-term fatigue or intense exercise leading to friction and irritation. Pain-relieving medication can be applied to the affected area, along with rubbing and massage. Additionally, a local corticosteroid injection into the tendon sheath can be performed for rapid recovery, effectively reducing inflammation in the muscles and tendon sheath and achieving excellent results.
