Explanation

"No tenosynovitis" means that there is no inflammation of the sheath that surrounds a tendon. Tendons are the tough fibers that connect muscle to bone, and the sheath is a protective layer that helps the tendon move smoothly. If this sheath gets inflamed, it can cause pain and difficulty moving the affected area. So, when a doctor says "no tenosynovitis," it means that this particular problem isn't causing the patient's symptoms.
