Can wrist tenosynovitis be cured?
Disease description:
I have been diagnosed with wrist tenosynovitis. May I ask if it can be cured?
Tenosynovitis of the wrist can be treated effectively, with specific treatment options determined by the severity of the condition.
1. General treatment: Suitable for mild cases, including rest, avoiding excessive exertion, and physical therapy (such as acupuncture, massage, cold or heat application, etc.).
2. Medication: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., ibuprofen, loxoprofen sodium) can help relieve pain and inflammation.
3. Local steroid injections: For patients who do not respond well to oral medications, local injection therapy may be used.
4. Surgical treatment: Recommended for severe cases or when non-surgical treatments fail. Surgical options include tendon sheath decompression and excision of tendon sheath cysts, which can effectively improve the condition.
Patients should follow medical advice, actively cooperate with treatment, and pay attention to daily care in order to achieve the best therapeutic outcome.
