De Quervain's tenosynovitis is a condition that occurs when the tendons around the base of the thumb become inflamed. It is commonly treated with non-surgical methods such as rest, splinting, and medication. However, in some cases, steroid injections may be required to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
If physiotherapy did not work for you, other non-surgical treatments you can try include:
1. Rest: Avoid activities that cause pain or discomfort.
2. Splinting: Wearing a splint or brace to immobilize the thumb and wrist can help relieve pain and inflammation.
3. Heat or cold therapy: Applying heat or cold to the affected area can help reduce pain and swelling.
4. Physical therapy: A physical therapist can work with you to develop a specific exercise program to help reduce pain and improve function.
If non-surgical treatments do not provide relief, your doctor may recommend a steroid injection. However, it's important to note that steroid injections can have potential side effects, so it's important to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
If conservative treatments do not work, surgery may be recommended. Surgical treatment involves opening the sheath that surrounds the affected tendon, allowing it to move freely. However, surgery is usually only considered as a last resort when all other treatments have failed.
I recommend discussing these options with your orthopedic doctor to determine the best course of treatment for your specific case.
