Dr. Xu Shuai
Tendon sheath inflammation is a condition in which the sheath surrounding the tendons in the hand or foot becomes inflamed. The main symptoms include:
1. Pain: Persistent pain usually occurs in the affected area, especially noticeable during movement or when touched.
2. Swelling: The affected area may swell and feel harder than normal upon touch.
3. Limited movement: Due to pain and swelling, the range of motion in the joint may decrease, making specific movements such as clenching a fist or extending the fingers difficult.
4. Redness and increased warmth: Inflammation may cause localized redness of the skin and a slight increase in temperature.
If these symptoms occur, especially if they persist or worsen, prompt medical attention is advised.
