Wrist tenosynovitis

Tenosynovitis is a type of osteomyelitis. Generally, suppurative tenosynovitis is caused by trauma and stab wounds (such as fishbone), and the pathogenic bacteria are mostly Staphylococcus aureus, and sometimes E. coli or streptococcus. The main symptoms are pain in the fingers or palms, pain in the feet, local fever, pain in straightening or bending, and if the infection spreads to the subcutaneous tissue, it will be accompanied by redness and swelling. Office people often maintain a posture in front of the computer for a long time, as everyone knows, this has buried the hidden dangers of tenosynovitis, commonly known as the mouse hand. Doctors found that the higher the mouse's position, the greater the damage to the wrist; the further the mouse was from the body, the greater the damage to the shoulder. Therefore, the mouse should be placed at a slightly lower position, which is equivalent to the height of the elbow when the upper arm is perpendicular to the ground in a sitting position. The position of the keyboard should be similar to this. Many computer desks do not have a dedicated location for the mouse, so putting the mouse on the desk for a long time to work will obviously harm people.
