- Today, we're shedding light on De Quervain's tenosynovitis, a condition that can cause pain and discomfort in the wrist and thumb area. Join us as we explore what it is, its symptoms, and various treatment options available.
De Quervain's tenosynovitis is a condition that occurs when the tendons around the base of the thumb become swollen and irritated. This inflammation can cause pain, tenderness, and difficulty moving the thumb and wrist, impacting daily activities and quality of life.
In this informative video, we'll delve into the causes of De Quervain's tenosynovitis, which often include repetitive thumb and wrist movements, overuse, and strain. We'll also discuss the common symptoms to watch out for, such as pain and swelling at the base of the thumb, difficulty gripping objects, and a "catching" sensation when moving the thumb.
But fear not - there are various treatment options available to alleviate the symptoms of De Quervain's tenosynovitis and promote healing. From conservative measures such as rest, ice, and immobilization to physical therapy exercises and corticosteroid injections, we'll explore the range of interventions tailored to your needs.
Additionally, we'll touch upon surgical options for cases that do not respond to conservative treatments, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of your options and empowering you to make informed decisions about your health.
So, if you or someone you know is dealing with De Quervain's tenosynovitis, don't miss out on this essential information.

This was so very helpful to me. The pain and swelling was so bad and now I am hopeful that this will heal.
Let us work with you to help it go away faster. Typical time for pain reduction with most hand use is around 3 weeks with our style
Not boring, really informative. Thank you!!
Nice!
Very informative! Thank you! :)
yep. Just book a session with me. www.p2sportscare.com/ I have helped people in person and online with this type of thing. Even when injections have not worked
Thank you for this video. I have been suffering with DeQuervain’s Tenosynovitis for the last 6 months and it is driving me crazy. I have been in PT for the last 2 months with no relief. I see a hand specialist next week but I just wanted to say thank you for the info that you’ve provided in this video as it helps people who otherwise would not understand what they are dealing with to better understand what is happening to our bodies!!
Glad it was helpful. If you need some help just set up a session with me. Even doing online sessions we should be able to get rid of this with you. p2sportscare.janeapp.com/
Are you well now?
When did it finally get better Stephanie?
@@taraschmidheini4674 a year later they finally gave me cortisone shots in both wrists and 3 days later the pain was gone and never came back thank God!!
Can you make a video like 'Exercise to do to prevent wrist injury for musicians' ... that would be very helpful. I am a guitar player and i get pain in my lateral aspect of wrist every now and then. Plz tell me if there is anyway i can prevent myself from getting hurt.
Thanks!!
No problem!
Thank you! Ignore the haters! Great info!
thank you
DONT GET THE SURGERY DONE JUST YET!!! here's why.. I had the same problem on my right wrist, then my left wrist. The right wrist got more painful as time went on. I am an HVAC Technician so I do a lot of repetitive hand movements. Anyway, I went and got the surgery done on my right hand about a year ago now. The recovery pain was not that bad but a uncomfortable slight pain did stick around for several months.
Anyway, I had set up an appointment for the left had to get done.... in the mean time while I was working around heavy machinery I decided to lean up against a pipe and other times a wheel shut off valve. So I would stand up under it and press up against the pipe or Valve and massage my back and trapezius muscles. It would hurt but feel good all at the same time.. I did this about 2 times a week. Within one month the pain on my left wrist had gone away.. so you have to do a deep tissue massage to get the knots out. You must try it before going through surgery.. go see a massage therapist if you have nothing sturdy to press against.. Good Luck
I'm an hvac tech as well and my left hand wrist started hurting to the point where I don't even want to use it. Getting depressed over this, I love my job
Can you make a video where you massaged and for how long
Are you saying that massaging the trapezius muscle stopped the pain in your wrist??? I have it in my right wrist and go every month for massages for my left trapezius muscle and it hasn't helped my wrist at all??
@@khancock52 yes, it has to be deep tissue massage. Not just a regular hand massage, try having therapist press down using an elbow and hold for about 30sec and repeat the process. It has to be on a knot. The knot is what is keeping the restriction of the nerve flow. It could also be somewhere along your back muscles that may need attention.
@@brianpoljak I'll see about making a short video soon.
Such a cool idea with the sand/rice!
Thanks! Cheap and simple
Thank you for the detailed information. I developed this in March of 2020. I got a cortisone shot in September and it did not help. My doctor said I would need surgery. I decided to try my DoTerra oils to get some relief. I apply past tense every morning and I have NO pain. I use it diluted in coconut oil or you can use it full strength. I have been doing this since September 2020. My orthopedic surgeon didn't even recommend exercises. I am glad I did not jump right in and get the operation.
Thanks for sharing!
Hello do you have any suggestions / exercises for ECU tendinitis, I type and use computer mouse a lot and have been suffering for 6 months and tried a cortisone shot but it did not help. I have stiffness swelling and dull pain with repetitive activity specially typing
Outer elbow pain is often times a C5 radiculopathy when it is not responsive to stretching of the elbow and aggravative by gripping. If you look up C5 radiculopathy in web search and it interests you just email me. Info@p2sportscare.com. Easy stuff
Do have any suggestions for painful wrist flexors? Thank you.
Search videos on our channel... all there
I've looked at all the videos about this and nothing is working for me. I had this issue for 6 yrs and been thru therapy with this DS. I have had 7 cortisone shots and they hurt like hell. They work for a while and I'm back in the same boat. I work in manufacturing and at the present i am off work because it. Any new suggestions because my surgeon stated even if i get the surgery it wouldn't help..
Get a new surgeon. If you've exhausted all options then surgery is the way to go
Shoot. I’m late to this comment. Do you still need some help? Surgery is not always the best option. There is a change you’ve missed some easy therapy wins
Shoot me an email with your phone number. We reply faster that way. UA-cam does not give us alerts when people communicate in comments info@p2sportacare.com or 714-502-4243. To set up a consultation you can use our online portal. www.p2sportscare.com/
I am having surgery for this next week 😳. I tried everything and nothing has helped. Hopefully, I have success with the surgery 🙏. Thanks for your information.
Why don't you just give us a few sessions at it before you do the surgery. You may be surprised at what happens!! Interested?
I have had this for 18 months. I have had 2 cortisone injections now and 2 rounds of physical therapy. The shots made all the pain go away for 6ish months. It's coming back again and they are looking into surgery now. My question is that I have never been instructed to completely brace it for an extended amount of time to give it rest. Would this help at all? or since symptoms come back after time with each cortisone shot any rest won't make a difference. This is suuuuch an annoying on going thing that won't go away.
Yes, a brace would help to keep your wrist in alignment and take the pressure off of the tendons by providing some imobilazation. Wearing a brace for the first couple of weeks of a flare will calm it down. It's important to do specific exercises and stretching when the initial severe pain is under control.
De Q is not too challenging to reduce with the right exercises. Most people dont need injections or medications. If you need some help just set up a session with me. Even doing online sessions we should be able to get rid of this with you. p2sportscare.com. If you have questions you ca set up a "phonecall session" as well in the scheduler
Thanks for sharing this video it's very helpful.
Was just wondering if you could give some help tips, ; I had same problem with this but worst is it's protuding, like the bone is protuding in the tip of the radius or the scaphoid protrude. Don't know about thiz, but sounds like your video help.. like learning reticulum you mention.
Thanks a lot
I got this by restarting playing guitar, I felt a little irritated after that at the wrist portion and try to massage a little base on some wrist pain video,and all hell break loose. I can't move my whole arm since it was so painful and I stay awake all night. Its about more than a month now and I realise this is the name of the symptom. Nurofen works well to kill the pain but it does not solve the problem.
Email us so we can help you get rid of it info@p2sportscare.com
Do anyone have numbness and tingling in the thumb and special under the fingernail
I have on my pinky
I was diagnosed with this syndrome and I am a professional nanny. I have a question, I am wearing a brace currently, but if I keep doing this work is it going to affect how long it takes to HEAL? It has been 2 and half 3 weeks, and its driving me crazy!!
Ya people who hold kids get this a lot. It can get better in a few weeks to a month depending on your severity. Contact us for more help. www.p2sportscare.com/contact-form-youtube/
I currently have this after my baby. It hurts like crazy to the point where I can’t pick my baby up. He’s living with my mom and sister until I get better. Your job as a nanny isn’t helping.
I can feel the bones/tendons clicking and grinding and moving around in my wrist when I move it in certain directions. Is that normal with De Q?
Sebastian Gonzales You didn’t answer my question once again proving how useless you are. Are you even a real doctor ?
@@eyesopen3766 He cant diagnosis your issue without a medical evaluation. I believe he did answer your question within legal limits. Your symptoms could be from DeQuervain's, but there may be additional causes. See a doctor. Personally from my experience, I am curtently in therapy for DeQuervain's and share your symptoms.
@@dannielynn2164 what did you do in your therapy? I have the same thing. I was off work 2 and a half weeks and was doing therapy. Once I went back the pain came back. 😓
Diagnose your condition? You have a lot of nerve expecting to get that kind of assistance on UA-cam for free! Don't give people a hard time when they are trying to be helpful. Try to be more considerate, less demanding, and see your doctor if you are seeking a diagnosis.

Hi doctor. I have a crush wrist injury since September 2019 and it is still very painful and swollen 9 months later. I still can't turn my wrist without terrible pain and I cant apply any pressure to it. my shoulder is now very painful and I cant put my arm up straight because it stop going up half way and the pain is unbearable. Also, I can't get my arm backward non at all and sometimes my arm go dead from the shoulder all the way to my hand and cant move when this happens it is very very painful. Do you know when I should expect to get better?
Hey. That's a loaded question. Are you able to come see me in person? I'll be able to answer your questions more specifically if I can gather more information about your problems. Email me Info@p2sportscare.com
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor Thank you for your answer. Are you in Toronto Canada?
@@violetburrell2452 Nope but you can still email us!
Thumb pain is bad, mkay.
hmmm
so you didn't even tell us how to fix it. Thanks buddy.
He can't tell you how to fix it without an evaluation of your case. Each injury is different and may require specified treatment. See a doctor and get a plan asap. This is not easily treated and the longer you wait the more severe it can become. Good luck.
Dont wanna be a hater but this video was almost about nothing. There are lots of de quervain videos out there folks keep digging.
Education man
That was rude. Does the world owe you something, too? There are an awful lot of mean people on this site. Normally, I just ignore them, but I'm pissed off right now about the degree of corruption in our government and ignorance of masses and ready to tell anyone who annoys me what I think.
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor I'm a nurse with similar sx and feel this was an excellent presentation. Thank you- I'll check out some of your other videos.
Thanks :)
No problem!
