What is wrist tendonitis?
When it comes to wrist tendonitis, everyone must be familiar with it. "Mobile hands" and "Mom hands" are actually talking about it.
To know what "wrist tendonitis" is, you must first understand what tendon sheath is.
tendon sheath is the tissue wrapped outside the tendon. Such a structure can fix and protect the tendon, preventing it from friction and compression, and sliding freely within the tendon sheath.
Inappropriate long-term, excessive, and repetitive activities, such as holding children, doing housework, playing with mobile phones, etc., will cause tendon sheath damage and sterile inflammation such as congestion, edema, and exudation.
This is what we call wrist tendonitis, which is also the most common wrist tendon disease. It is medically called "radial styloid process stenosis tendonitis".

If there is no sufficient rest, the plaster can only temporarily relieve the pain. If the medicine is over, the pain of tendonitis will continue. 04 closure + surgical treatment closure treatment: Injecting glucocorticoid or local anesthetic into the tendon sheath can relieve pain symptoms, relieve pain during the efficacy period, and play a therapeutic role to a certain extent; , but it is not recommended to use closed treatment as the first choice, and do not exceed 2 times, because this treatment has certain side effects, such as: local fat atrophy, skin discoloration, and even tendon rupture ; surgical treatment: When the conservative treatment of wrist tendonitis fails, surgical treatment can be performed. Surgery is generally local anesthesia or brachial plexus anesthesia, which is relatively simple and has little trauma. By loosening the tendon sheath of the tendon and incising the septum between the tendon, the purpose of loosening and decompression is achieved. has good surgery, fast recovery, basically can achieve radical cure and low recurrence rate.
