Synovitis and tenosynovitis - what does this mean

Synovitis and tenosynovitis are inflammatory conditions of the synovial membrane and tendon sheaths, respectively. they can be caused by trauma, infection, autoimmune disease, or other conditions. symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness, and decreased range of motion. treatment may include rest, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and, in some cases, surgery.

What happens during the disease - synovitis and tenosynovitis

Synovitis and tenosynovitis are inflammatory conditions that affect the synovial membrane, which is a thin layer of tissue that lines the joints and tendon sheaths. the inflammation occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovial tissue, leading to an increase in inflammation and pain. this can be caused by an autoimmune disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis, or an infection such as bacterial or viral. in some cases, the cause is unknown. the inflammation can affect the range of motion of the affected joint or tendon sheath, and cause swelling, pain, and stiffness.
