Hi...
I have a patient here in my transcription report with De Quervain tenosynovitis.

Hi, I am Dr. Ramez mohammed. I had gone through your question and understood your concerns. In the beginning will give you a brief about the disease. De Quervain syndrome: is a tenosynovitis of the sheath or tunnel that surrounds two tendons that control movement of the thumb.

Symptoms are pain at the radial side of the wrist, spasms, tenderness, occasional burning sensation in the hand, and swelling over the thumb side of the wrist, and difficulty gripping with the affected side of the hand. The onset is often gradual.

Pain is made worse by movement of the thumb and wrist, and may radiate to the thumb or the forearm.
