Hi Crowsister - It's nice to hear from you again, but I'm sorry to find you dealing with this situation and the pain. I was not able to find information about Synotendonitis, however I did find a condition that is primarily found in the hands/wrist but is also found in the feet - Tenosynovitis. The synovium is a lining of the protective sheath that covers tendons. Tenosynovitis is inflammation of this sheath. The cause of the inflammation may be unknown, or it may result from infection, injury, strain or overuse. Treatments involve reducing inflammation and resting, not going into physical therapy. Here are some references for you:
