Physio Tips - DE QUERVAIN¡¦S SYNDROME
Common symptoms are:
  • Pain at the wrist on using the thumb
  • Swelling of the extensor tendon of the thumb
  • Tenderness on palpation of the tendon where it passes over the wrist
  • Pain on flexion and extension of the wrist joint
  • Pain on thumb extension against resistance
  • Creaking of the tendon may be felt when the thumb is moved
Treatment:
  • Rest in thumb splint which immobilize all the joints of the thumb, except the DIP (finger-tip) joint during acute inflammation
  • Gentle active and passive thumb and wrist motion encouraged every hour to prevent joint stiffness and tendon adhesions
  • Ice massage
  • Modalities such as ultrasound, laser, and interferential therapy, to reduce pain and inflammation
  • Gentle stretching of thumb extensors and radial nerve once symptoms have subsided
  • Hydrocortisone injection if symptoms persist
Please feel free to contact our physiotherapist, Ms. Aggie Siu at aggie_siu@yahoo.com.hk if you have any query about your wrist problems.
