What’s the Best Way to Treat Chronic Tenosynovitis?

Question by ShakeRattleRollNY: What’s the best way to treat chronic tenosynovitis?
I obtained this condition above my left ankle about a couple of years ago playing soccer. It really hasn’t gone away; when I poke at that area, it feels like a fresh painful bruise. I’m able to run and move around since the injury is above where my sneaker tops off.

I heard that acupuncture is helpful. Your suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
