DeQuervain’s tenosynovitis is a painful inflammatory condition that affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. According the a study published in the BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, “The estimated prevalence of de Quervain tenosynovitis is about 0.5% in men and 1.3% in women with peak prevalence among those in their forties and fifties. It may be seen more commonly in individuals with a history of medial or lateral epicondylitis. Bilateral involvement is often reported in new mothers or child care providers in whom spontaneous resolution typically occurs once lifting of the child is less frequent.”[1]
