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:

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

In this podcast episode, Allen Willette, from Tennis Elbow Classroom answers these and other questions related to tendons tears – Specifically related to these particular elbow injuries, including:

• How tears diagnosed in the first place
  
  
• The different types of tears
  
  
• The prospect of healing different degrees of severity and what they probably require
  
  
• The less-invasive alternatives to surgery, including ProloTherapy, PRP and Stem Cell Therapy
  
  
• Two “lessor” surgical procedures, Tenex and TenJet that can be performed rapidly under local anesthesia

Exercise Tennis Elbow – But Don’t Overstretch?

In this video, Coach / Kinesiologist, Eric Wong of Precision Movement demonstrates three exercise techniques for treating Tennis Elbow.

Eric has specialized in training combat athletes, including national level amateur boxers, UFC and other fighters.

In the video description, he warns against the risks of “over stretching” – which he claims can cause further damage.

For my take on this, please see my post at Tennis Elbow Classroom:

Strength Coach Says: ‘Exercise Tennis Elbow – But Don’t Overstretch?’

Disparities Between Muscle & Tendon Growth Rates, Tendinopathies & Sport-Specific Strength Training Programs

This video, by Dr. Vizniak, of ProHealthSys, discusses the disparities between muscular and tendinous growth rates, Tendinopathies and other tendon injuries – and the long-term effects of sport-specific strength training programs.

Comparing the forearms of the Power Lifter and Rock Climber, Dr. Vizniak explains how the disparate, long-term demands of these two activities have resulted in very obvious tendon differences.

The forearm musculature of the two men appears similar – but the tendons of the Rock Climber are obviously twice (or nearly twice) the size of the Power Lifter’s tendons.

Dr. Tanner Alden, the Rock Climber, explains how the process of ‘Muscle Hypertrophy’ produces a much faster increase in muscle mass than the tendons of that muscle are INITIALLY able to adapt to.

When Do You Need An MRI For Tennis Or Golfer’s Elbow?

When should you consider getting an MRI if you have a Golfer’s or Tennis Elbow injury?

Allen Willette from Tennis Elbow Classroom answers this question in this podcast episode.

Which also covers several key, related questions including:

• Do I need an MRI to diagnose my Tennis or Golfer's Elbow?
  
  
• When is the right time to get an MRI scan – If at all!?
  
  
• What will the MRI tell me... what do the results actually mean?
  
  
• And are there any good alternatives?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI for short) is considered the “gold standard” when it comes to imaging or “seeing” what’s wrong with soft tissues.

If there are any significant defects in your tendons the MRI will reveal these in the greatest detail now medically available.

This is the best objective measure (although not the only measure) you can get of how severe the damage to your tendons may be…

(Tendon damage being the essence of what Golfer’s and Tennis Elbow are.)

But there are several things to take into consideration about if and when you really need to go to the significant trouble involved in getting an MRI

Here's where you can go to read the accompanying article, with links to articles referenced in the episode:

Overcoming Angler's Elbow: Fishing-Related Elbow Pain

Why is it that casting, reeling and other fishing motions can sometimes end up causing a lot of inner or outer elbow pain – and sometimes even debilitating tendon injuries?

In this episode Allen Willette, of Tennis Elbow Classroom, explains the underlying causes as well as how to treat these frustrating fishing-related elbow injuries.

Including how to avoid the common mistakes that can impede your recovery and prolong your misery.

"The pain sometimes begins with a whisper, like the gentle 'swish' of fly line through the misty, morning air…"

"You start to notice a minor ache or little 'pinch' at your elbow as you cast or reel, especially when you've hooked a feisty bass or rainbow…"

"And your arm may feel heavy and tired at night after a long day on the water, perhaps with a dull, burning throb at your inner or outer elbow."

"Is it anything to worry about? – Or just a minor nuisance? – Another sign you're getting older, perhaps? Or is this something more?"

• Are there topical preparations or other treatments that can help relieve the pain and help you sleep?
