De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
A complex name for a simple problem that can be a very painful and disabling condition.
Simply put, De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is tendonitis on the thumb side of the wrist.
Pain at the base of your thumb can be due to tightness around two tendons. The cause of this varies and is not to be confused with thumb arthritis.
