Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of the fluid-filled sheath (called the synovium) that surrounds a tendon. Symptoms of tenosynovitis include pain swelling and difficulty moving the particular joint where the inflammation occurs. When the condition causes the finger to stick in a flexed position this is called stenosing tenosynovitis commonly known as trigger finger. This condition often presents with comorbid tendinitis.
