Pain in Your Wrist or Thumb? It Might Be De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis

If you’re experiencing pain at the base of your thumb, especially when gripping, turning your wrist, or lifting objects — you might be dealing with De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis. This condition affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, leading to inflammation, pain, and limited movement.
