Recently, "Black Myth: Wukong" has become popular all over the internet. Many friends, in order to clear the game as soon as possible, keep playing monsters and enjoying themselves until their eyes become dry, their necks become stiff, and their thumb joints ache, but they still refuse to quit.
In the digital age, our fingers have almost become the golden cudgel in "Black Myth: Wukong", frequently typing keyboards, sliding phone screens, and completing seemingly simple tasks that are repeated countless times. However, this high-intensity use also presents us with a modern version of the 'ninety-eight one difficulty' - tenosynovitis.
This article will take you to understand tenosynovitis, explore its prevention methods, and introduce the application of topical patches in the treatment of tenosynovitis.

Tenosynovitis, as the name suggests, is a damaging inflammation caused by excessive friction between the tendon sheath (the synovial sheath surrounding the tendon) and the tendon. Commonly found in areas with frequent movements such as fingers and wrists, especially among "keyboard hands" and "mobile phone hands" who use computers and phones for long periods of time, as well as occupational groups who require repetitive hand labor. Its symptoms include pain, swelling, redness, restricted movement, and even the feeling of fingers or wrists getting stuck or having strange sensations during movement.

The key to preventing tenosynovitis is to reduce excessive use of the hands and maintain correct posture. Here are some practical preventive measures:
1. Reasonably arrange work and rest
Avoid prolonged and continuous use of computers or mobile phones, take a few minutes off at regular intervals, and move your fingers and wrists.
2. Maintain correct posture:
When using a computer, the keyboard and mouse should be placed at a suitable height to avoid excessive bending or stretching of the wrist. When using a mobile phone, try to hold it with both hands to reduce the pressure on a single finger.
3. Moderate exercise:
Engaging in some hand stretching and strengthening exercises, such as wrist rotation, finger flexion and extension, can help alleviate hand fatigue.
4. Pay attention to keeping warm:
Avoid prolonged exposure of hands to cold environments, and it is best to wear gloves when doing household chores such as laundry and snow sweeping in winter.

For patients who have already suffered from tenosynovitis, in addition to rest and physical therapy, drug therapy is also an important auxiliary method. Flurbiprofen gel plaster and loxoprofen sodium gel plaster, as non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for external use, have significant effects in the treatment of tenosynovitis.

The main ingredient is flurbiprofen, which has antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects. Suitable for treating pain and swelling caused by osteoarthritis, shoulder periarthritis, tendon and tenosynovitis, etc. Apply twice a day to the affected area, which is convenient to use and can effectively relieve pain.

Also a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, it exerts anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins. Suitable for osteoarthritis, muscle pain, swelling or pain caused by trauma. Once a day, apply to the painful area and clean and dry the skin surface before use to ensure full absorption of the medication.

Although tenosynovitis is a common disease in modern life, through reasonable prevention and treatment, we can completely avoid or alleviate the pain it brings. Just as the fated man in "Black Myth: Wukong" went through 981 difficulties and finally achieved success, we should also actively respond to the "difficulty" of tenosynovitis, scientifically prevent and treat it, and protect our hand health. Both flurbiprofen gel plaster and loxoprofen sodium gel plaster are "golden stirrups" in our hands, helping us overcome tenosynovitis and return to health.
