What is tenosynovitis de Quervaina?
de Quervain's tenosynovitis is a disorder caused by inflammation that creates pain on the inner part of a person's wrist in the area under the thumb. This disorder is generally caused by repeated unpleasant thumb movements for a long time. These movements damage the paths of important tendons in the wrist and thumb area, leading to inflammation. Tenosynovitis de Quervain is usually treatable, although treatment may require lifestyle changes and special preventive measures.
At the top of the forearm there are muscles that generally control the finger and movement of the thumb. These muscles are attached to the tendons that travel tunnels in the bones of the arms and hands. Inside the tunnels called tenosynovium is a cunning surface that keeps smoothly moving the tendons. When Tenosynovium becomes inflamed, it can swell it, causing it to be painful for a person to move through the thumb.
In some people, inflammation can actually create the surface of the skin red and for others it can even cause visible swelling. Pain from de Quervain's tenosynovitisthat being so serious that an individual may be temporarily affected and forced to miss work. This pain usually builds gradually over time, generally begins as a small inconvenience and slowly increases the severity, because unpleasant thumb movements continue to damage the area. If the movements of the thumb stop, sometimes the condition can recover in itself without medical treatment.
When doctors diagnose de quervain tenosynovitis, they usually ask patients to wear some wrist. Doctors can also learn as much as possible about patient working conditions and ask them to change the way they perform certain activities with their hands. Once the treatment is running, it may sometimes take several weeks for all symptoms to disappear. When the symptoms finally disappear, patients are always at risk of restoring the problem, so future diligence may be required in terms of the activities performed by hands.
one of the ordinaryTreatment is injection of patients with cortisone, and this can often significantly reduce any inflammation in the area. Sometimes it doesn't work, although success is generally very high. In patients who cannot normally recover, doctors can choose a surgical option. This usually involves the production of cracks in the bone tube that passes through the tendons, leading to a wider opening and allowing Tenosynovoviium to be treated. Surgery generally avoids if possible because rehabilitation can be lengthy and painful with a long time of reduced physical function.
