Dear user. I can understand. Please don't be panic. In De Quervain's tenosynovitis, the covering of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist becomes inflamed or swollen, restricting the tendons' movement. The result is discomfort and pain at the base of the thumb and wrist every time you turn your wrist, grasp anything or make a fist. It is suspected that retention of fluid during pregnancy initially causes this problem, and symptoms generally start quite mild. It is frequently aggravated by activities of infant care and housework causing it to linger and, often, make it worse. In some cases it can be so painful that hand movements are restricted. Improvement usually occurs with conservative management, and it is best to see a physiotherapist early on to commence treatment. It is rare for this condition to require surgical or other medical management. You can get information here: Mater.org. Au/brochures/mater-mothers-hospital/pregnancy-thumb-and-wrist-pain.
