If the thumb has tenosynovitis, generally can not be self-healing, but you can use local hot compresses and physical therapy to improve the situation, and may also be recurred in the later stage, so the thumb has tenosynovitis or active treatment.
1. Thumb tenosynovitis is due to excessive thumb flexion and extension activities, so that the thumb flexor tendon and the tendon sheath of the mechanical friction between the excessive, resulting in hyperplasia, synovial fluid exudate increased, resulting in stenosis of tenosynovitis.
2. It can be improved by hot compresses, heat can play a good role in activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Every night before going to bed, you can use about forty degrees of warm water to soak the joints of both hands for a period of time, which can play a good role in relaxing the tendons and collaterals, but also can play a certain degree of improvement on the tendovaginitis disease.
