De Quervain Tenosynovitis treatment in Ecatepec de Morelos

Seeing an orthopedist or a hand surgeon is standard when pain appears on the thumb side, since De Quervain's disease is the condition that most often explains that discomfort. It is an inflammation of the tendons that move the thumb as they pass through the wrist.

What it is: It is a tenosynovitis that irritates the sheath through which certain thumb tendons slide, causing pain when using it.

Common symptoms:

• Pain on the side of the wrist near the thumb
• Discomfort when gripping objects or turning the wrist
• A sensation of rubbing or swelling in the area

When to seek care? If the pain persists, makes everyday tasks difficult, or recurs with movement, it is worth having a doctor check the joint and advise on the steps to follow.
