If the De Quervain's reappear and bothering your activities then surgery is the best option for you.

De Quervain's tenosynovitis is a painful condition caused by the inflammation of the tendons located at the base of the thumb. The treatment options for De Quervain's tenosynovitis include non-surgical and surgical interventions, depending on the severity and duration of symptoms. Non-surgical treatments include rest, immobilization of the thumb with a splint or brace, and the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and pain. Physical therapy can also be helpful in managing De Quervain's tenosynovitis, especially in cases where the condition is related to overuse or repetitive strain. However, if the symptoms persist despite conservative treatments, your healthcare provider may recommend surgery. Surgery is usually considered when the condition is severe or has not improved with nonsurgical treatment. The surgical procedure for De Quervain's tenosynovitis involves making a small incision over the affected tendons to release them and alleviate pressure. I would recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of treatment for your specific case of De Quervain's tenosynovitis. They can assess the severity of your symptoms and help you determine if a corticosteroid injection or surgery is necessary, or if physical therapy may be sufficient to manage your symptoms.
