If you are experiencing redness, swelling, or pain, and believe it could be due to tenosynovitis, schedule an appointment with your doctor. The doctor will examine the region and may manipulate the area of the problematic tendon to identify any increase or decrease in pain. He or she may then recommend an MRI or ultrasound to rule out other causes of pain, redness, or swelling.
