Seen the Professor, and I have "De Quervain’s tendinitis";
"De Quervain’s tendinitis occurs when the tendons around the base of the thumb are irritated or constricted. The word "tendinitis" refers to a swelling of the tendons. Thickening of the tendons can cause pain and tenderness along the thumb side of the wrist. This is particularly noticeable when forming a fist, grasping or gripping things, or when turning the wrist."
I’ve had a steriod injection directly into the tendon, and have a splint for my wrist/thumb, been told to take two weeks off for rest, so don’t expect any blogs for a while
