How to fix De Quervain's Tenosynovitis At Home | Ed Paget

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis is a painful condition that affects the area on the thumb side of the wrist. Symptoms include pain over that area when you rotate your forearm, pick things up or try and do a pushup.

An easy test to see if you have DeQuervain's tenosynovitis is Finkelstein's test. However sometimes it can give a negative test (it isn't' painful) but you still have the problem.
In some cases the pain will come with wrist extension and on weight bearing. It’s important to rule out other causes of wrist pain like fractures and ligament tears.The pain is caused by irritation to the tendon as they pass under tight tissues into the wrist.

Here is what is in the video:
