Do you experience pain at the thumb side of your wrist or base of your thumb that makes it difficult to turn your wrist, lift or grasp objects, or make a fist? 🤔 You might have De Quervain's tenosynovitis, also known as radial styloid tenosynovitis. This condition affects the tendons on the thumb side of your wrist, causing inflammation and pain. Here's what you need to know: ➡️ De Quervain's Tenosynovitis: Inflammation of the tendons that control thumb movement. ➡️ Symptoms: Pain at the thumb side of the wrist or near the base of the thumb, swelling, difficulty gripping or lifting objects or turning the wrist, or a "sticking" sensation when moving the thumb. ➡️ Causes: Often caused by repetitive hand or wrist movements, such as gardening, playing racket sports, or lifting a baby. ➡️ Treatment: May include rest, splinting, medication, injections, or in some cases, surgery.
