Postoperative complications of tenosynovitis in fingers, such as swelling and pain, may be due to incomplete recovery. It is recommended that patients get adequate rest, keep the area warm, and avoid exposing the surgical site to cold. Under a doctor's guidance, loxoprofen sodium capsules may be taken for pain relief. Local heat application and physical therapy can also help alleviate soft tissue swelling and pain. If necessary, timely follow-up at a hospital is advised to rule out possible infection.
