What Is DeQuervain's Syndrome?

Mothers and fathers get this thumb injury from picking up their babies... Gamers from their controllers... Cell phone users from too much texting – And let's not forget percussionists, golfers and anglers!

You might think it's just a SIMPLE case of Tendonitis but it's actually a slightly more complicated tendon syndrome known as a 'Tenosynovitis.'

In the case of DeQuervain's, one that involves two thumb tendons and the special wrappers called 'Synovial Sheaths' around them where they cross the wrist.

• TENO refers to the tendon – (Tendons are the "ropes" which connect muscles to bones)
  
  
• SYNOV refers to the Synovial Sheaths – (which are special protective tendon sleeves) and
  
  
• ITIS had to do with irritation, inflammation and pain – (although inflammation is not the primary issue and is often wrongly and unfairly blamed!)

Test yourself for it easily – If you have thumb pain but aren’t sure if it's actually De Quervain's Syndrome, try these three simple tests:

3 Simple Tests For De Quervain's Syndrome / Mommy Thumb

How do you know if you have De Quervain’s Syndrome?

De Quervain’s Syndrome is a form of Tenosynovitis also known as Mommy Thumb, Smartphone Thumb and Gamer’s Thumb.

First of all, if you have De Quervain’s Syndrome, the worst symptoms will be on the back side of your thumb right at your wrist.

You may also have some pain and stiffness an inch or so down the back side of your thumb – And / or an inch or so up your forearm.

But the sharpest pain is almost always felt on the thumb side of the wrist.

3 Quick Tests For De Quervain’s Syndrome Tenosynovitis

Do You Have Mommy Thumb Or Gamer's / Texter's Thumb?

Thumb pain: Mothers and fathers get it from picking up their babies… Gamers from their controllers… Cell phone users from too much texting – And let’s not forget percussionists, golfers and anglers!

It’s not a SIMPLE case of Tendonitis. It’s a more complicated tendon syndrome known as a ‘Tenosynovitis’ in this case, one that involves two thumb tendons and the special wrappers called ‘Synovial Sheaths’ around them where they cross the wrist.

• TENO refers to the tendon – (Tendons are the “ropes” which connect muscles to bones)
• SYNO refers to the Synovial Sheaths – (which are special protective tendon sleeves) and
• ITIS had to do with irritation, inflammation and pain – (although inflammation is not the primary issue and is often wrongly and unfairly blamed – MORE on that later!)

Fritz De Quervain was a Swiss surgeon, who first described the condition about a century ago, and so it’s called ‘De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis.’

The Common Symptoms

The pain is felt on the back side of the thumb at the wrist (not the palm side) and it ranges from a dull ache to fiery, burning, even stabbing, pain with certain thumb and wrist motions.

• Pain at the base of the dorsal thumb (back side of wrist on thumb side)
• Stabbing pain with gripping and twisting motions (forget opening jars!)
• Tenderness to the touch around the dorsal, radial wrist (back, thumb side)
• Swelling / stiffness on the thumb side of the back of the wrist / lower forearm
• A “snapping” or “catching” sensation in the wrist area with thumb movement
• And fluid-filled cysts sometimes appear in this area at the same time

You’ve tried icing it, right? You’re probably taking more Ibuprofen than you’d really like, I would guess… And you’ve been told to wear that stupid, awkward brace around, no doubt…

Antibiotics And Tendon Damage

Is there a link between certain antibiotics (and other drugs) and tendon disorders like Tennis Elbow, Golfer’s Elbow, Rotator Cuff injuries (and other tendon issues) – Or even tendon ruptures?

Yes, there’s a class of antibiotics called ‘Fluoroquinolones’ that have been know for decades to cause various forms of tendon damage – (Cipro being the most well-known and commonly prescribed.)

“As of July 2008, the FDA mandated that all FQ products have a black-box warning indicating an increased risk in adverse events including tendon rupture.”

In this episode, Allen Willette, from Tennis Elbow Classroom goes into detail about these antibiotic-induced tendon injuries, including:

• Which specific antibiotics have a risk of tendon damage
  
  
• The other serious side effects that these drugs can cause
  
  
• How these drugs can damage your tendons (and even joints)
  
  
• How these injuries differ from "typical" tendon injuries
  
  
• And thoughts on how one might recover from these injuries
