De Quervain Syndrome: Signs, Causes, and Treatment
De Quervain syndrome, also known as De Quervain tenosynovitis, is a condition that affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. This syndrome occurs when the sheath around the tendons becomes inflamed, leading to pain and difficulty moving the thumb and wrist. The exact cause of De Quervain syndrome is not fully understood, but it is believed to be a result of overuse or repetitive hand and wrist movements.
Activities such as texting, typing, lifting, or playing sports that involve gripping and twisting motions can contribute to the development of this condition. Understanding the causes of De Quervain syndrome can help individuals take preventive measures and make adjustments to their daily activities to reduce the risk of developing this painful
What Are the Symptoms of De Quervain Syndrome
Patients may experience discomfort when moving the thumb or when grasping objects, along with a sensation of tenderness or aching in the affected area. Sometimes, there could be a noticeable "catching" or snapping sensation when moving the thumb. In some cases, the pain may radiate up the forearm. If you're experiencing these

Ice or heat therapy
You may find heat helpful to ease stiff and painful joints. Try filling a bowl with warm water or resting your hand on a microwaved heat pack for 10 minutes. Do not use heat if your joint is hot and swollen as it may make it worse. Instead you can consider using an ice pack or bag of frozen peas.
Place a tea towel on your wrist (to protect your skin from ice burns), and then place an ice pack or bag of frozen peas over the painful area. Leave this on for ten minutes and use up to 3 times per day.
- Please be cautious using ice if you have altered sensation or circulatory problems.
- Check the skin regularly, and stop if there is excessive pain or ting

De Quervain's Stenosing Tenosynovitis
Thumb Tendinitis, de Quervains Tenosynovitis, dem Quervains Stenosing Tenosynovitis, Quervain's Stenosing Tenovaginitis (sometimes referred to as "new mom's syndrome")
If you have contracted De Quervain's Stenosing Tenosynovitis, you will notice a painful irritation below the thumb in the area of the wrist (see image for detail). The tendons that straighten the thumb resehandling over the back of the wrist and run through a tunnel known as the "first dorsal compartment". It is this area where the pain will manifest itself.
A dem Quervians injury means that the lubricating sheath (sheaths help tendons slide with less friction) that lines the passage has thickened and swelled. This swelling reduces the available room for the thumb tendon to move. Scar tissue may struktur between the lining of the sheath and the tendon, further restricting thumb movement.
