 One of the questions I got in the Runners Aid Station was:

This is a runner who went to the doctor, and was told, "You have extensor tenosynovitis. The best way to get it to calm down is to remove the inflammation and stop aggravating the tendons."

If so, you might be thinking you need something drastic to stop the tendons from moving so it can calm down.
