Could You Have De Quervain's Tenosynovitis? Identifying Symptoms and Treatment Options
What is de Quervains Tenosynovitis
- My patients usually complain of pain on the radial side of the wrist
- It is usually from activities that require forceful gripping with ulnar deviation
- It can be also from repetitive use of the thumb
What is the cause?
Not to confuse you with big long words, but the two main culprits are abductor policies longs (APL) and extensor policies brevis(EPL). What happens is that there are several microtraumas to the tenosynovium or the sheath.
