Learn About Synovitis

What is the definition of Synovitis?
Synovitis is the inflammation of a synovial membrane, the layer of connective tissue that lines joints such as the shoulder, hip, knee, or ankle. Arthritis is one of the main causes of synovitis. Athletes and individuals with physically rigorous jobs are also particularly at risk of overusing joints and developing synovitis. 
What are the symptoms of Synovitis?
The main symptom of synovitis is joint pain, which can range in severity from person to person. Some individuals experience significant paint even if there is no swelling or inflammation of the joint. Individuals with synovitis may also experience bleeding at the affected joint(s).

What are the current treatments for Synovitis?
The simplest treatment for synovitis involves rest to avoid further joint damage. Individuals with synovitis may also be prescribed disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or receive oral steroids to reduce inflammation. Physical therapy may aid with strengthening a joint and surrounding muscles, and in more serious cases, a physician may recommend a synovectomy, a procedure to remove the inflamed joint lining.
