Can Physiotherapy Exercises Effectively Treat De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis Issue?
Question: HI
in october 2017 I had De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis issue,
issue root cause: we had a shower in bathroom ,shower handle which helps in changing the hot to cold and cold to hot is very short and very tight.
Four months timeframe I used to apply pressure of the thumb daily to shower handle.)
then i got affected with the issue
I took acemiz mr and rest ant ice packs for 10 days .and still pain is somewhat there when I tried to grip something.
First time :
I went to doctor and he took x ray and nothing he found .
He told to take ultrasound for 4 days and rest the wrist.
After that I took care for 1month and pain almost got relived.
Second time :
And then my baby bended backwards while she is in my hands . then again it started to hurt a lot.
Again I went to one more orthopedaic at my home,he took x ray again and nothing issues he found.he prescribed ultrasound for 4 days and told that it is a ligament issue will take few months to get relived.
I asked if some stretching are there to gain strength in muscles
He told nothing is there
Important note: when I went for physiotherapist in XXXXXXX first time physiotherapist prescribed some exercises
Given below exercises she preferred:

My 3 questions

Hi Doctor,
now the symtoms got reduced,but resting is hard to follow ,now i feel pain lightly in between,
but i need to very careful the problem is my stomach is not accepting pain killers.
so i thought of having ultra care machine in between when i feel pain,not to use pain killers .
so any multivitamin tablets would speed up recovery process .
in dec last i had second time physio after that i am very careful after that ,
when lifting my baby also i am careful,
so iam thinking of ways to recover faster.

Brief Answer:
Needs Physiotherapist to decide
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The duration and intensity of the ultrasound therapy is best decided by an experienced Physiotherapist.
Do consult one before you start using it because there are many variables based on your skin and symptom severity which only your Physiotherapist can examine you and decide.
You can take Becosules Tablet which is a multivitamin.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
