Understanding De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
What is De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis?
De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is a painful condition caused by inflammation of the tendons that run along the thumb side of the wrist. The condition results from overuse or repetitive hand and wrist movements, leading to swelling and irritation of the tendons in the first dorsal compartment, making it difficult to move the thumb or wrist. It is often associated with activities that require repetitive pinching, grasping, or twisting motions.
Common Causes
- Repetitive Motion: Repeated thumb or wrist movements, such as typing, texting, lifting, or gardening, can lead to overuse of the tendons.
- New Activities: Sudden increases in activity, such as new parenthood (lifting babies), can strain the tendons.
- Injury: Direct trauma or injury to the wrist can trigger the development of De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis.
- Inflammatory Conditions: People with inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis may be more susceptible to developing this condition.
- Occupational Stress: Jobs or hobbies that require frequent hand and wrist use, such as knitting, carpentry, or playing musical instruments, can increase the risk of developing this condition.
Recognizing the Symptoms
- Pain near the Base of the Thumb: Sharp or aching pain on the thumb side of the wrist, which may radiate up the forearm.
- Swelling: Swelling around the base of the thumb, often accompanied by a fluid-filled cyst.
- Limited Mobility: Difficulty moving the thumb or wrist, especially when grasping or twisting objects.
- Pain with Activity: Increased discomfort when lifting objects, making a fist, or performing tasks that involve pinching or gripping.
- Tenderness: Sensitivity when pressing on the affected area near the wrist and thumb.
