An interesting article about PVNS aka Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor can be found on Orthopaedics One. Apparently trauma and infection don't precipitate PVNS, but they did find that an over-expression of M-CSF plays a pathogenic role in PVNS.
Half of the patients are under the age of 40.
Im a college football player who suffered from pvns in my left knee. I had to get surgery for it back in 2015 summer right before playing at North Carolina Wesleyan College. I went through physical therapy and lots if athletic training at my college. My knee was stiff and i played well during the season with a weak knee plus scar tissue. Sadly few months later after i transfered from the school,it came back. It was cracking everytime i do a hamstring curl or kick my knee back real fast. I got a cortizone shot and the doctor said itll bring the inflammation down. So now im planning to play ball at a Division 2 program and fight this pvns. GOOD THING is that the 100% Pure Essential oil Frankincense Boswellia carterii i used has help immediately with fighting the inflammation and hopefully bringing the cyst down. I also take glucosamine, chondroitin, msm, and hyaluronic acid all in a pill plus tumeric to help fight this. Plus lots and lots of stretching and foam rolling my knee to fight the stiffness. I will definitely make a video soon. To show and tell everyone the progress. There is hope. Dont give up and trust in God.
