Tendovaginitis is a non-bacterial inflammation that forms at the junction of the tendon and the shell plate of the hand.
Tendon sheath is a sheath-like structure that surrounds the tendon, fixing it to the periosteum and preventing it from popping up or slipping to the sides. If the tendon rubs excessively for a long period of time, the tendon and tendon sheath can be damaged and inflamed, leading to swelling. Mild symptoms can be treated with acupressure and acupuncture; severe cases require surgery, in which the narrowed portion of the tendon sheath is incised and partially removed so that the sheath no longer squeezes the tendon. Tenosynovitis occurs in people between the ages of 30 and 50, with women outnumbering men 10 to 1. It is common in occupations that require prolonged, repetitive activity, resulting in tendon strain, such as typing, cargo handling, or prolonged computer operation.
Tendon sheath is a double-layered casing-like tube of synovial membrane that protects the synovial sheath of the tendon. It is divided into two layers around the tendon, between the two layers of a cavity that is the synovial cavity, within the tendon sheath synovial fluid. The inner layer and the tendon close together, the outer layer lined with tendon fiber sheath inside, *** with the bone surface with the combination of fixed, protective and lubrication of the tendon, so that it is free from friction or compression effect. Tendon long-term excessive friction in this, can occur tendon and tendon sheath damage inflammation, causing swelling, called tenosynovitis. Tendovaginitis is mostly seen in women, and the disease commonly affects wrists, fingers, shoulders and other locations, bringing great harm to people's health. Experts said that to stay away from tenosynovitis, get rid of the pain caused by the disease, we must do a good job of preventive work, the premise of the prevention of tenosynovitis first of all have a clear understanding of the causes of tenosynovitis.
The 3 major causes of tenosynovitis
1, many people will often use their fingers to send a message constantly, knocking on the keyboard all the modern work is inseparable from the fingers, and these are to a certain extent to become caused by tenosynovitis occurs. In the finger flexion and extension is not free, the finger activity is not flexible symptoms should be vigilant whether suffering from finger tenosynovitis disease.
2, the cause of tenosynovitis is the causative organism is mostly Staphylococcus aureus, tenosynovitis occurs due to stabbing, contusion, impingement, or clipping nails too deep and other injuries caused. Finger tenosynovitis often occurs in the palmar surface of the fingers, each hand palm surface has a sheath, when the tendon sheath is injured and broken so that bacteria invade the sheath, tenosynovitis will occur.
3, women and diabetics are more likely to suffer from this disease, the patient will feel joint pain, morning stiffness, usually joint morning stiffness in the wake up better obvious, and the symptoms will not be with the activities of frequent and obvious relief. The affected joints are swollen, even popping, and joint movement is impaired.
What are the dangers of tenosynovitis
1, pain
Most can not clearly point out the location of the pain, only complain of joint ? The most important thing to remember is that you can't tell where the pain is coming from. The feeling of soreness or lack of strength in the joints during exercise. Sometimes the pain is felt in the form of bands. The pain is often caused, most can not specify the location of the pain, the movement of the joints in the soreness or the feeling of not being able to produce force. Sometimes a band of pain is felt. A feeling of soreness or lack of strength in the joints, especially during exercise. Localized swelling may occur to varying degrees, resulting in dysfunctional movement, affecting normal work and study, and if left untreated, may develop into permanent immobility.
2, localized swelling
The onset of the tendon will have a cord-like elevation, varying degrees. Dysfunction is also the danger of tenosynovitis: tenosynovitis occurs in the wrist of the upper limb affects the power, sometimes hit the ball will be deformed movement, tenosynovitis occurs in the ankle in the pace of movement will feel pain and affect the movement.
3, dysfunction
Tendinitis in the upper limb wrist mostly affects the player's power, sometimes hit the ball will be deformed movement, tendinitis in the ankle in the pace of movement will feel pain and affect the movement.
Simple 5 steps you completely get rid of tenosynovitis
1, the hand has a lot of blood vessels and muscles, in the case of infrequent activities to help relax through external forces, such as the right hand, five fingers extended, with the left hand index finger and middle finger, respectively, clamped on the right hand of the index finger, the root of the finger from the finger began to slightly force to the tip of the finger to move, you can play the role of the blood, the action should be from the big finger to the little finger! Cycle in turn, and the right and left hands to the right.
2, in the use of computers, the movement of incorrect people always shoulder will be inward buckle, so let the shoulders have a backward force seems very necessary. You can let the hands behind the back together, fingertips up, and then move along the spine to the neck, the whole process, can be based on the individual's ability and can withstand the amplitude of a little force, until the limit is reached to stay 10 seconds. Through this action can let the stiff and sore shoulders get stretch.
3, hands opposite each other, the two hands of the five fingers correspond to each other, only the fingertips are in contact with each other, and then hands slightly harder to the inner pressure, so that long-term inactivity of the fingers have a workout and stretching, as people stretching, so that the fingers also stretching once lazy. This action is mainly for the mouse hand is often placed on the mouse, rarely do the finger upward activity, in the whole action, to do the limit can be more stay about 5 seconds.
4, hand flexibility and coordination need to exercise, the two hands will be stretched out, so that the index finger and the middle finger together for a group, so that the ring finger and the little finger to become a group of together, and then the two groups were to the left and the right hard to exercise the coordination of the two hands, but also a kind of cerebellum exercise and relaxation, recreation and activities combined.
5, hands outstretched, flush with the shoulder, gently fist, and then the wrist as the fulcrum of the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, respectively, began to rotate, and time and again the angle of the outward extension as far as possible. This action is mainly exercise often placed on the keyboard rarely other angle activities of the wrist, for tendonitis is also a prevention.
