Wrist tendonitis

Hey, what a strange name...I swear by the pain when this happened 2 months ago till now..still recovering by taking painkiller, applying AmmiVotara(sounds volcanic), ice-bag,etc. You name it, I'd try to combat the inflammation pain. Luckily, no surgery require but have to live with this for the rest of my life :-(

Possibly, I've twisted tendon in my wrist, "chee mah ken" (Cantonese).


Scientific name : Tenosynovitis

Wrist tendonitis, also called tenosynovitis, is a common condition characterized by irritation and inflammation of the tendons around the wrist joint. Many tendons surround the wrist joint. Wrist tendonitis usually affect one of the tendons, but it may also involve two or more. Often wrist tendonitis occurs at points where the tendons cross each other or pass over a bony prominence.
The wrist tendons slide through smooth sheaths as they pass by the wrist joint. These tendon sheaths, called the tenosynovium, allow the tendons to glide smoothly in a low-friction manner.
