Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Chen Jian
In general, wrist tenosynovitis can gradually recover with proper care and treatment.
Common treatment methods:
1. Rest: Avoid activities that cause pain and give the affected wrist adequate rest to reduce further tendon damage.
2. Ice application: Applying ice packs to the affected area can help reduce pain and swelling, for 15-20 minutes each time, multiple times daily.
3. Medication: Over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can relieve pain and reduce inflammation. If symptoms are severe, a doctor may recommend corticosteroid injections.
4. Wearing a brace: Wearing a wrist brace while sleeping or performing certain activities can limit wrist movement and reduce pressure on the tendons.
