How to check for tendonitis? How to check for tenosynovitis?

The diagnosis of tenosynovitis can be confirmed by history and physical examination, and x-rays can be taken to rule out other disorders, such as bone lesions.

It is recommended that you consider visiting the pain department of a regular hospital, and give symptomatic treatment in time according to the physical examination**.

Tendons are strong, fibrous connective tissues that connect bones to muscles. Tendonitis usually refers to degeneration of tendon collagen fibers caused by repeated strong stretching due to overuse of muscle fibers, which can affect tendon sheaths in addition to the tendon itself.

Ways to alleviate tendonitis.

1.It is to analyze the load points on the work or posture, try to improve the change, and even change the work content if necessary.

2.Wearing an elastic sheath, such as wrist brace or knee pads, can be helpful during and after exercise, even if it provides some support and warmth.

3.Ice should be applied to the affected area for 20 minutes every few hours in the acute phase; and elevate and immobilize the affected limb; For tendonitis of the upper extremities, a brace or cast can be used to fix it in a suitable functional position, and rest is the best way to relieve muscle tension; For tendonitis in other locations, edema can be reduced by dressing with an elastic bandage. After the acute phase, make a suitable ** plan, such as external application [Jiyutang tendon Shun Gu Anyu patch] to regulate.

Exercise increases muscle strength and restores range of motion.

4.After the acute phase of hot compresses, you can apply a warm and damp towel to the knee at the site where tendinitis has occurred, then cover it with a plastic bag, then apply a heat pad, and finally use an elastic bandage to hold everything in place. This is done for 26 hours.

However, you should be careful not to burn and do not set the temperature of the heat pad too high.

5.Taking a break is a great way to relieve muscle tension at work; If you don't have the right posture, it's easy to get tendonitis. Especially if you are typing or typing on a computer all day, it is easy to have problems with your wrists and arms, so it is important to take a break while working.

Hello, tendonitis is a relatively common disease, the main common site is the heel of Achilles tendonitis, mainly caused by the patient's fatigue, strain or cold. In the clinical examination, the first need to ask a consultation, most patients will feel that after the occurrence of tendonitis, they are sensitive to pain during activity or weight-bearing, and the pain disappears after bed rest and elevation of the affected limb. Doctors can make a definitive diagnosis through a clinical examination.

In severe cases, there will be tendon adhesions, limited dorsum extension of the foot, and the local surface will be slightly swollen and tender!

Heel percussion pain is negative, and ultrasonography can be used to determine the extent of tendonitis. Therefore, after the patient has myositis, he must not dispose of it at home, but should go to the hospital to be examined by a doctor to make a clear diagnosis and then give the correct **.

Tenosynovitis is a bone disease that is extremely harmful to physical health, and needs to be done early, and the sooner it is, the easier it is. So how is tenosynovitis detected? How can I check for tenosynovitis? Let's take a closer look.

1. Physical signs examination

Tenosynovitis can show local swelling in the early stages, and some patients will also experience local tenderness, mainly in and around the tendon sheath of the injured area.

2. Palpation of tenosynovitis

The flexor carpi muscles palpation were mainly flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, and ulnar carpi flexor; The extensor carpi muscles are mainly extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis and ulnar carpi extensor. Palpate the extensor digitorum muscle, and examine the extensor tendon of the common finger, the extensor propria tendon of the index finger, and the extensor propria tendon of the little finger in turn. Then palpate the abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis brevis brevis, and extensor pollicis longus. Pay attention to whether there is a change in muscle tone, whether there is tenderness, and whether there is no obstacle to movement.

3. Positive resistance test

Pain is exacerbated by hyperextension or hyperflexion of the joint due to inflammation or swelling of the tendon sheath of the diseased tendon, as in the stenosis tendon or hyperflexion of the styloid process radius, and a positive Finkelstein sign is present.

4. X-ray examination

X-rays are electromagnetic waves with very short wavelengths and strong penetration. X-rays used in medicine refer to all the examination methods that use X-rays to take fluoroscopic or intent-looking photographs of the inside of the human body, so X-rays can show calcium deposits in the tendons and their tendon sheaths, which is also helpful in the diagnosis of the disease.

5. Prevention of tenosynovitis

1.Wash your hands with warm waterDevelop the habit of washing your hands with warm water after work, do not use cold water, move your hands in a timely manner, and massage yourself. If you have this disease, it is important to treat it as soon as possible, so as not to prolong it into chronicity.

2.Rotate your wristWhen the stinging pain of e**tenosynovitis begins, you can do gentle hand movements to relieve the pain. Rotating the wrist is one of the simple exercises.

Turn your wrist for about 2 minutes. It exercises all the wrist muscles, restores blood circulation, and eliminates the bent posture of the wrist, which often causes symptoms such as wrist pain.

3.Raise your arms and hands up, high above your head, and rotate your wrists as you rotate your arms. This helps your shoulders, neck, and upper back to adjust their position.

4.Take a break between turning your head and neck, place your hands on the table, and rotate your head for 2 minutes. Bend your neck forward and back, tap your shoulders with your head, twist your neck, look at your left shoulder, look at your right shoulder.

5.It's important to exercise regularly every day and relax all your sore muscles, even if you don't feel pain. The local exercises described earlier should be practiced at least 4 times a day.

Tendonitis is a common soft tissue disease in which an inflammatory response occurs in the tendons that connect muscles to bones. The occurrence of tendonitis may be related to several factors.

First, the occurrence of tendonitis is associated with overuse or overloading of tendons. Tendinitis can be caused by repetitive movements for long periods of time, work with incorrect posture, excessive exercise, or muscles that do not warm up adequately while exercising. For example, sedentary office workers who use a mouse and keyboard for long periods of time can cause wrist tendonitis; Runners who run for a long time without proper rest and recovery can lead to Achilles tendonitis, etc.

Secondly, the occurrence of tendonitis is related to age and sex. As we age, the elasticity and toughness of the tendons gradually weaken, and inflammation is more likely. In addition, women are more likely than men to develop certain types of tendonitis, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tenosynovitis.

Thirdly, the occurrence of tendonitis is related to physical constitution and health status. Some congenital or acquired physical defects, such as curved or flat feet, excessive valgus of the knee, wrist joint instability, etc., may increase the risk of tendonitis. In addition, some chronic diseases, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid dysfunction, etc., can also increase the risk of tendonitis.

Fourth, the occurrence of tendonitis is related to the external environment and working conditions. A wet, cold environment can make tendons more susceptible to injury and inflammation. At the same time, occupations that require long hours of bending over or bending knees to work, such as assemblers, waiters, etc., are also more likely to suffer from tendonitis.

Finally, the occurrence of tendonitis is associated with incorrect posture and poor movement technique. Incorrect posture and movement techniques can put additional stress and burden on the tendons, which in turn can lead to inflammation. For example, an incorrect pen grip can lead to wrist tendonitis; Poor ankle stability while running can lead to Achilles tendonitis.

In short,The occurrence of tendonitis is the result of a combination of factors. Overuse, age and gender, physical and health conditions, external environment and working conditions, incorrect posture and poor movement technique can all increase the risk of developing tendonitis. Therefore, we should pay attention to the moderation and correctness of exercise, and pay attention to the improvement of working conditions and posture to prevent the occurrence of tendonitis.

At the same time, once signs of tendonitis appear, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid further deterioration of the condition.

1.When tendonitis attacks, it is painful to press on the joints in the affected area. If you have tendonitis in the tendons and shoulders of your feet, the symptoms are more severe.

2.Some patients experience more pronounced numbness or tingling.

3.Patients will have common joint pain that can cause their movement to be limited and unable to do more strenuous sports or exercise joint movements.

4.Patients will experience slight swelling and pain.

5.If the patient's tendon pain is worse than before and it occurs for a long time after, then they need to go to the hospital. Because if the pain persists for 1 week and does not improve, it may be the patient's condition, which turns into chronic tendonitis.

It can also lead to other complications that require a doctor's expertise**, or a more swollen sensation or even an inverted tendon rupture.

6.Tension in or near the joints, particularly around the wrist or Achilles tendon or around the elbows, numbness or tingling, and painful joint stiffness that restricts movement of the affected joints. Occasionally, the joint swells slightly and continues to be painful.

From the original injury**, the tendon continues to be painful or reappears after a long time. The pain does not improve for 7 to 10 days, the pain is severe and accompanied by swelling, which has turned into tendon rupture and needs to be treated immediately**.

When this condition occurs, you first feel weak, especially your legs, feet and arms are slowly painful, and you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

Tendons are resistant to bending, stretching, and twisting, and they play a large role in everyday life and during exercise. But if it becomes inflamed, the following symptoms may occur. After the diagnosis of tendonitis, early immobilization and rest can relieve pain and prevent symptoms from worsening by applying cold compresses.

After the acute phase, you can apply a hot compress, and if the pain and swelling are more obvious, you can help speed up the recovery of gray with external support (Jiyutang, tendon Shun Gu'an Yu sticker).

1. Tenderness: Normal tendons are not tender, but when the tendon is inflamed, there will be obvious tenderness when the hand is pressed on or near the joint.

2. Tingling: This is generally more common in the shoulder, wrist or heel, when the tendon is inflamed, there will be obvious numbness or tingling, which is also related to tendon fiber lesions and affecting the dredging of meridians.

3. Joint stiffness: The tendon is the fibrous tissue that connects the muscles and bones, and when it becomes inflamed, the movement will be restricted, which will cause the feeling of joint stiffness.

4. Slight swelling of the joints: When the range of movement is too large during exercise, it will cause inflammation of the tendons, and the most obvious thing is that the joints will be slightly swollen and the pain of pressing is strong. And some tendonitis is painful for a long time, and if it is not taken in time**, joint swelling will also occur.

Severe tendon injuries can rupture the tendon or turn into chronic tendonitis or even other complications. Therefore, when the tendon is inflamed, it is necessary to be in time**.

Tendinitis precautions:

1.Usually you can be gentle with the affected area.

2.Reduce the burden on the injured area. Do not do actions that affect the healing of the affected area.

3.Training on uninjured areas is not easy to overdose. Avoid injuries to new areas due to these overloads.

4.Pay attention to your usual diet: it is advisable to eat papaya, kelp, peanuts, almonds and other foods to help the healing of chronic tendonitis.

Tendonitis is an aseptic inflammatory response to the tendon and surrounding tissues, mainly due to excessive exercise. Local physiotherapy, drugs, surgery, occlusion and other methods can be used.

1.Pay attention to your diet in your daily life, avoid excessive fatigue, and rest more to avoid physical injury.

2.Local physical methods, such as red light, microwave, salt bag hot compress and other methods can **tendonitis.

3.If you need drugs**, you can take oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Ankangxin, Lesong, Xilebao, Qianggu Capsule, Xianling Gubao, Dragon's Blood Exhaustion and other drugs. Patients with stomach problems should take it after meals to avoid ***.

4.If the condition is severe, tendonitis can be treated with surgery.

5.If there is no significant clinical relief after receiving the drug**, triamcinolone acetonide can be used for local occlusion**.

Precautions for patients with tendonitis in daily life:

1.Proper immobilization of the affected limb in a functional position, even if the limb is at its most functional, can be elevated to reduce swelling of the affected limb due to tissue edema.

2.Actively carry out functional exercises, the intensity of which depends on the severity and duration of the disease, and is not likely to cause pain in the affected limb. Functional activities such as upper arm abduction and wall climbing exercises can be performed to strengthen the affected limb.

3.Protect the function of the joints from repeated impact and compression.

4.Ice is used during acute tendonitis to reduce circulation and local symptoms.

5.Take a break to relieve muscle tension.

When tendonitis occurs in the human body, it is usually caused by improper exercise. In some cases, it is caused by chronic strain. When tendonitis occurs, the patient's own movement is restricted, causing pain and even affecting normal joint extension and flexion.

Therefore, patients with tendonitis should pay attention to the rest of the tendons, and can use traditional Chinese medicine to relieve the tension of the tendons, eliminate tendon inflammation, promote blood circulation in the tendon area, and relieve the patient's pain.
