4. Tissue Necrosis Can Set In
Most cases of tenosynovitis can be treated with rest and the right type of medication taken for the right amount of time; your doctor should be able to recommend the right treatment for your individual condition – and it’s ideal that the condition is caught early in the onset process.
Letting tenosynovitis go for too long can lead to a range of other health complications that arise as a result of the original illness, and these can include everything from arthritis as a chronic condition, carpal tunnel syndrome or necrosis of surrounding tissue.
The potential of tissue necrosis associated with long-term tenosynovitis presents a special danger to sufferers and means that the condition should be treated as soon as possible in order to avoid risking amputation or the infection starting to travel to other parts of the body, where it can cause the same symptoms and lead to potentially fatal others.
