Understanding Synalgia: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Synalgia is a condition where two or more joints become stuck together, causing limited mobility and pain. It can occur in any joint of the body, but is most common in the hands and feet.
The term "synalgia" comes from the Greek words "syn," meaning "together," and "algos," meaning "pain." It is also known as "joint adhesion" or "joint stiffness."
Synalgia can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, inflammation, or repetitive motion. It can also be a symptom of other medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout.
Treatment for synalgia typically involves physical therapy and exercises to improve joint mobility and strength. In some cases, medication or injections may be prescribed to reduce pain and inflammation. Surgery may be necessary in severe cases where the joint is severely damaged or deformed.
