Tenosynovitis
When pain, swelling, or difficulty moving a joint or finger persistently appears, it may be inflammation of the tendon sheath, also called tenosynovitis. It is a problem worth checking early.
Inflammation of the tendon sheath affects the membrane that wraps and lubricates the tendon, which makes its normal gliding difficult.
Common causes: repetitive movements, overuse of an area, injuries and, at times, inflammatory or infectious processes.
Frequent symptoms: pain when moving the joint, swelling along the tendon, and a sensation of rubbing or stiffness.
Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner can guide the initial evaluation and refer to the orthopedist, while the radiologist assists with imaging studies. If the discomfort limits movement or does not improve, it is advisable to consult a professional.
