Tendon sheath inflammation on the top of the foot should be evaluated by an orthopedic or pain management specialist at a hospital. It is important to choose a reputable hospital for examinations in order to accurately assess the severity of the condition and determine an appropriate treatment plan. Dorsal foot tendon sheath inflammation is usually caused by aseptic inflammatory infection, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, can be used for treatment.
