What causes de Quervain’s Tenosynovitis?
Tenosynovitis is caused by the thumb tendons getting stuck together in the wrist region. The tendons swell and moving the thumb causes pain. Most often tenosynovitis is due to overstraining caused by one-sided repetitive movements and is frequently seen in those who use computers 6-10 hours a day.
