Treating Wrist Tendonitis Without Surgery
Usually, you will have wrist tendonitis of either the flexor or extensor tendons; rarely both. The more commonly affected tendons are the flexors. When the tendon inflames, it can cause a number of symptoms. The primary symptom is pain upon moving your fingers. Other symptoms are burning as well as reduced strength and stiffness.

What causes wrist tendinitis? Wrist tendinitis (tendonitis) is typically the result of repetitive stress on the tendons in your wrist. A layer of lubricated tissue, called a tendon sheath, surrounds your tendons. Overuse can irritate the sheath, leading to inflammation and enlargement.

Tendinosis is a degeneration of the tendon's collagen in response to chronic overuse; when overuse is continued without giving the tendon time to heal and rest, such as with repetitive strain injury, tendinosis results.
Synovitis is a common condition meaning inflammation of the synovial lining of a joint or tendon sheath (the tunnel the tendon runs through). Tendon sheath synovitis is referred to as tenosynovitis. It is a generalised response of that particular tissue (the synovial lining) to a local problem e.g. injury or infection.

Pyogenic or suppurative flexor tenosynovitis (PFT) is a severe bacterial infection within the closed space of the digital flexor tendon sheaths.[1][2] PFT accounts for 2.5 to 9.5% of hand infections that can cause necrosis of the tendons and devitalization of fingers.[3] This infection alters the gliding mechanism and ...
The most common forms of hand and wrist tendonitis are:DeQuervain's tenosynovitis—the most common type of tenosynovitis disorder. ... Trigger finger or trigger thumb—a type of tenosynovitis where the tendon sheath becomes inflamed and thickened making it hard to bend or straighten the finger or thumb.
Tendinitis is a condition in which a tendon is inflamed, causing swelling and pain. Tendons are strong cords of tissue that connect muscles to bones. Tenosynovitis is a condition that's linked to tendinitis. It occurs when the lining of the sheath around a tendon is inflamed.
Although any tendon surrounding the wrist can cause pain, tendonitis usually occurs where tendons cross each other near the wrist bone. Wrist tendons are fibrous tissues made of collagen that connect the muscles in the forearm to bones in the hand.
Wrist tendons typically take about six weeks to heal completely. Tendonitis rarely reoccurs after surgery.
If your symptoms haven't improved after one or two weeks of home treatment, or if the pain is severe or debilitating, see your doctor. Most cases of tendinopathy recover completely without the need for any medical input. However, uncommonly, severe untreated tendinopathy can lead to rupture of the tendon.
If tendonitis is left untreated, you could develop chronic tendonitis, a tendon rupture (a complete tear of the tendon), or tendonosis (which is degenerative). Chronic tendonitis can cause the tendon to degenerate and weaken over time.
To prevent wrist tendinitis, physical therapists recommend that you:Avoid repetitive wrist and hand movements.Warm up the muscles around the wrist and hand before starting an activity.Perform regular stretches to maintain flexibility in the wrist and forearm before and after exercise or activity.More items...

A common symptom is wrist pain. Some other possible symptoms include swelling, a decrease in wrist strength, and sudden numbness or tingling.

Your wrist is made up of eight small bones known as carpals. They support a tube that runs through your wrist. That tube, called the carpal tunnel , has tendons and a nerve inside. It is covered by a ligament, which holds it in place. Wrist pain is common.
Some wrist fractures are a result of osteoporosis. Other common causes of pain are. Sprains and strains. Tendinitis. Arthritis. Gout and pseudogout.
Repetitive motion can damage your wrist. Everyday activities like typing, racquet sports or sewing can cause pain, or even carpal tunnel syndrome. Wrist pain with bruising and swelling can be a sign of injury. The signs of a possible fracture include misshapen joints and inability to move your wrist.
Use wrist guards, when doing sports that put you at risk for wrist injuries
