5. Joint pain is common in tenosynovitis. The tendon sheath is putting pressure on the muscle and bone that is causing tenosynovitis.
The pain can range from mild to severe and it comes on slowly or suddenly. Even if the pain comes on suddenly, some people don’t pay any attention to it and continue doing what they have to do until it becomes unbearable.
The pain is usually felt whenever the joint is used, such as the wrist, hands, or feet. When the particular joint is at rest, no pain is felt. In order to get some relief, it’s a good idea to not put any pressure on the affected area and let the tenosynovitis heal. It could possibly go away on its own, but as long as the affected area is being used, the pain is going to stay and difficult to heal once treatment is sought.
