De Quervain’s tendonitis update: Marked improvement both with the splint and without. Only pain while wearing is ironically from the split itself.

Posted by Qale Mar 26 '22, 17:27

Places where it pinches skin sometimes, or the bulkiness makes me bump into something jarringly. But the ongoing thrum of pain is very, very minor.

Without the splint, I can do the thumb to pinky exercise without hating it completely. But there is still pain, if not the snap/unsnap feeling of the tendon within its sheath. 😈 Similar pain with the bending the thumb at the knuckle exercise. Neither is even close to what it was the last two days since the steroid injection procedure.

So ultimately, I’m feeling a lot better. I think there is still plenty of improvement to come. Hopefully even as quickly as the next two days, but certainly before the next appointment in 12.

My wife had that in both hands from lifting a tiny human. Surgery on the bad one, in a splint and no lifting for I think 2 weeks, but it fixed it. - mafic Mar 26, 20:07 1
- That is the most common cause for this version of tendinitis. I imagine Twitch gamers might be the second at this point. -- nm - Qale Mar 26, 20:37
