De Quervain's (Mommy Thumb) & Intersection Syndrome. Self Help, Advice and Treatment.

This video aims to provide evidence based information about De Quervain's Tenosynovitis (AKA Mommy Thumb) and also Intersection Syndrome, by answering the 3 most common questions asked by people who have been diagnosed with the condition :-
1) What is it ?
2) Why do I have it ?
3) What can I do about it ?
The condition is usually a clinical diagnosis based on the history and examination findings. An MRI scan or ultrasound scan can be used to confirm the diagnosis and exclude other possible causes. Despite the number of videos on KZbin suggesting exercises to help with De Quervain’s, there is currently no good evidence to support the use of exercises for this condition.

[@PhysioMSK]

Hi Debs. Thanks for the reply. I know it can be difficult to see a doctor at the moment but hopefully things will settle down fairly quickly. Thankfully it's an easy condition to treat and most will get better by following the basic advice in the video. Best wishes. Stephen.

Thank you! I spent a month this summer digging, rolling and moving large rocks for a wall and pond. Time for a long rest in a wrist splint. Appreciate your explanation.

Great video. I might have this problem, but i thought my volar plate is to blame. My surgery was over 6 months ago. It gets worse after work. I avoid using this hand, I ice it and use some creams and have healthy diet yet the problem persists. My hardware will be removed in the future but i would like my hand to feel better Maybe i should see my local physiotherapist?

[@PhysioMSK]

Yes I would see a physio or hand therapist. The volar plate is in a very different part of the hand though. It lives in the fingers / thumb whereas this condition is essentially a wrist problem.

[@PGCStudio]

@@PhysioMSK it was distal radial fracture to be specific. Thank you for answer sir.
