Wrist synovitis

The human wrist joint is a very important activity area. If there is a problem with the wrist joint, it will affect the normal use of the hand. However, since there are many synovial membranes distributed on the wrist joint, synovitis is a common condition. If you suffer from wrist synovitis, not only will normal hand movements be restricted, but it will also cause hand pain. So what should you do if you have wrist synovitis?

Wrist synovitis is a common type of synovitis. The occurrence of wrist synovitis will not only bring pain to the patient but also restrict the patient's movements. Therefore, we must treat wrist synovitis in time. We have many methods to choose from in the treatment of wrist synovitis. We can not only use external application therapy to deal with wrist synovitis, but also use traditional Chinese medicine and puncture therapy to treat wrist synovitis. When there is a lot of joint effusion and tension is high, joint puncture can be performed to completely drain the effusion and blood, and sodium hyaluronate, which is the main component of synovial fluid, can be injected into the joint cavity.

Various pathological changes in arthritis are closely related to its reduction and changes in physical and chemical properties. The injection of sodium hyaluronate has the following effects: covering the surface of articular cartilage, which can protect the articular cartilage and prevent or delay further degeneration; protecting the joint synovium, removing pain-causing substances, and significantly reducing pain; improving the contracture state of the joint and increasing the range of motion of the joint; and improving the synovial fluid of the degenerated joint.

There are five types of synovitis:

1. Single pain type: mainly joint pain, no joint swelling or slight swelling, joints feel hot and stiff after walking for a long time, and the pain is aggravated.

2. Single effusion type: joint swelling, no pain, discomfort when squatting or bending; obvious swelling after excessive exercise or fatigue. Symptoms are mild in the morning and worse at night.

3. Joint syndrome type: joint swelling, obvious pain, accompanied by effusion, free bone and bone spurs. Going up and down stairs is stiff and inflexible, and there is a popping sound when moving.

4. Children’s synovitis type: The patient has had a cold before getting the disease. The child's main symptoms include: hip pain, sloping walking, fear of touching the ground with feet, etc. CT scans show water accumulation in the joints.

5. Special type of synovitis: symptoms appear in the wrists and hips.

The main symptoms of knee synovitis are:

1. Red: refers to the redness of the skin outside the joint, which is mainly caused by mechanical inflammation and local blood congestion.

2. Swelling: Joint swelling is a common symptom. The main reason is that under pathological conditions, the function of the synovium to secrete joint lubricating fluid is disturbed. A large amount of extremely dilute tissue fluid begins to be secreted, causing joint swelling.

3. Fever: refers to the increase in skin temperature.

4. Pain: This pain is mainly caused by swollen joints.

The dangers of knee synovitis:

1. Walking becomes weak, joints become crackling, swollen, painful, and numb.

2. When going up and down the stairs, the joints hurt and I dare not exert force, I cannot hold on and even have to rest while walking.

3. When you wake up in the morning, your joints cannot move for a long time. After sitting for a long time, your joints are stiff and you cannot walk.

4. If you catch a cold, your joints will swell severely, the water content will increase, and they may even become deformed.

5. Synovitis and osteoarthritis affect life and make it impossible to walk.
