It may be caused by muscle tension. In daily life, overexertion can injure the foot muscles and lead to pain. Pain can be relieved by taking anti-inflammatory medication as directed by a doctor. Avoid strenuous exercise regularly. Most cases of dorsal foot tenosynovitis are due to excessive strain, prolonged activity, or repetitive specific movements. Pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, keep warm, and apply local heat therapy.
