Disease description:
My mother has developed tenosynovitis in her hand, accompanied by pain. Could you please advise on how to treat hand tenosynovitis?

The treatment of hand tenosynovitis can be summarized as follows:
1. Medication: Under medical supervision, use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen, naproxen) or corticosteroids (such as prednisone, methylprednisolone) to relieve pain and control inflammation.
2. Daily care: Ensure adequate rest and avoid overuse of the hand, especially repetitive movements. Keep hands warm and avoid prolonged exposure to cold air. In terms of diet, it is recommended to consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, while avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
3. Physical therapy: Apply heat, massage, acupuncture, and other physical treatments to improve blood circulation and alleviate pain.
4. Surgical treatment: If the condition is severe and conservative treatments are ineffective, surgical options such as tendon sheath decompression or excision of ganglion cysts may be considered.
It is recommended to make comprehensive treatment decisions under the guidance of a physician to achieve optimal outcomes.
