Has anyone here been diagnosed with tenosynovitis?
I was diagnosed on Friday with tenosynovitis. The doctors think my neuropathy and pain is being caused by tibial nerve impinged in the tarsal tunnel caused by the inflammation of the tendons that pass through the tarsal tunnel along with the nerve.

fourj,
I had tenosynovitis in my wrist. It was called De Quervains tendonitis. It was excruciatingly painful. I was not able to use my hand at all and the pain never let up. I had tendon release surgery and the pain immediately went away. That was over 20 years ago. Recently I am having some similar pain but the pain comes and goes.
Are they considering doing a tendon release surgery for you?
I am sorry that you are going through that.
On Friday past the physiatrist gave me a ultrasound guided injection of I think lidocaine, anesthetic, and cortizone. The idea is to settle the tendon inflammation down. I also had a cortizone shot 2 weeks before by osteo surgeon. It didn't seem to do much for pain but at that point I didn't have a diagnosis.
My foot now feels more numbness and cold. Ugh.
fourj,
I have had several tendon issues, so I really sympathize with what you are going through.
Hopefully you will get a lot of pain relief from the injection.
