[|Human|] I have had dequervein tendonitis and it has lasted for a whole year and not doctors say that it may be torn ligaments. In the process I also had done cupping combined with acupuncture. I wander if that caused the damaged ligaments. what do I need to do to heal?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for writing to us, I have studied your case with diligence. Tenosynovitis is due inflammation and swelling of tendon.swelling on tendon may not reduce with medication alone. Local steroid injection can give good results added with physiotherapy protocol. If not relieved with conservative treatment surgical release may be required. MRI may require to confirm diagnosis. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health.
