Dequervain’s Tendinitis- A Painful Condition
Experienced in Hand
Hand is a major part of our body that has many functions like
holding things, writing, eating and many other things. A small
injury to our hand might lead to difficulty to do the mentioned
functions. Every one of us has had minor problems with a
finger, hand or wrist. We may not have any problem with our
body movements but everyday wear and tear or overuse, we
may develop certain symptoms or pain. We may also
experience finger, hand or wrist problems due to injuries or
aging. One of the sharp pains of the wrist is DeQuervain’s
Tendinitis. It is caused when the tendons situated near the
thumb are swollen and irritated.
You may suffer hand problems due to various causes including injury and diseases. However, most of
these causes can be treated and relieved. DeQuervain’s is a common condition that causes hand
pain. In this condition, the pain may develop gradually or sometimes it may be sudden. If you have
DeQuervain’s Tendinitis, then movements like making a fist, holding things, or turning the wrist
may be painful.
Another condition that may cause hand pain is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. It is one of the most
common nerve disorder causing pain in palm and some fingers of the hand, wrist or forearm. Patients
with this condition feel the pain more at night than during the daytime. It may also cause weakness,
tingling, and numbness in the hand. One may particularly feel the pain in the thumb, index finger, and
the middle finger. This condition makes holding things difficult.
Today, in the medical field a number of treatments are available for these hand problems and painful
conditions. Some of the most common treatments include resting the hand and wrist, using anti-inflammatory
or analgesic painkillers, injections, physical therapy etc. However, doctors recommend
surgery if the symptoms exist for six months or more.
