Chest Pain and Back Pain - Dealing With It
Have you ever experience pain while carrying your grocery bags through the loops? Is it painful when forming a fist? This painful sensation in the base of the thumb can be very annoying. It sometimes distracts us from doing our daily activities. We must address this problem. But first, let us first know what De Quervain's tenosynovitis is.
De Quervain's tenosynovitis is the inflammation of abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis. These are tendons of the first compartment of the wrist. Patients of de Quervain's tenosynovitis usually feel the pain in the base of the thumb. Redness, warmth, and swelling may also be obvious in this area.
De Quervain's tenosynovitis does not choose gender or race. It can affect both females and males of a different race. Though this is true, researches have shown that women, especially new mothers, are more affected than males in a ratio of 8 females per 1 male.
The causes of the inflammation of the tendons are related to trauma in the said area. Trauma may come from accidents while gardening, and repeated overuse of the wrist. Activities like carrying a plastic grocery bag by the loop can also cause trauma in the tendons. Sewing, knitting, and typing can also cause damage. New mothers are also prone to this problem because of the awkward way they carry the babies.
