3 Effective Ways To Treat De Quervain's Tenosynovitis

One of the most common types of tendon inflammation, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis (also called de Quervain’s tendinosis) is a painful condition where the tendons of the thumb swell. When this happens, you may lose the ability to move your thumb and wrist normally. It can be caused by overuse, repetitive grasping or inflammatory conditions like arthritis.

Activities that require a sideways motion of the wrist while you are gripping with the thumb can aggravate this condition. Hobbies and sports that use this motion include:

✅️ Using you smartphone
✅️ Computer work
✅️ Grasping money people owe you🤣
✅️ Lifting young children.
✅️ Gardening.
✅️ Racquet sports (tennis, racquetball).
✅️ Skiing.
✅️ Using a hammer.

DQT is one of the most common types of tendon lining inflammation (swelling). This condition affects women eight to 10 times more often than men.

Symptoms of DQT can include:

⚠️Pain and tenderness along the side of the wrist on the thumb side.

⚠️Pain that gets worse as you use the hand and thumb.

⚠️Pain that travels into the thumb or from the wrist to the lower arm (forearm).

⚠️Pain or difficulty when moving the thumb, especially when grasping or pinching objects.
