What to do about tendonitis and tenosynovitis

For the treatment of tendonitis and tenosynovitis, the following measures can be taken: 1. Rest and protection: The primary goal is to reduce activity of the affected area and avoid overuse. Use braces or bandages for protection to relieve pressure and pain. 2. Medication: Take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen) orally as directed by a physician, 2-3 times daily, to alleviate inflammation and pain. 3. Physical therapy: Alternate the use of heat and cold compresses to reduce pain and swelling. Appropriate massage and stretching exercises can improve local blood circulation and promote muscle relaxation. 4. Local injection therapy: Under a doctor's guidance, perform local injections to deliver medication that reduces inflammation and pain. 5. Surgical treatment: If the condition is severe or continues to worsen, surgical intervention, such as minimally invasive surgery, may be considered.
