diagnosis
I finally got a diagnosis. I have de Quervain's Tenosynovitis.
We think when I lifted something at work, that triggered it, and not knowing I had it, it kept flaring up. I've been told to ice it 3 times a day, for an hour, 20 mins on, 20 mins off, take motrin, and avoid movements that aggravate it.
I also need to get an xray, to make sure nothing is wrong there, and also, I may need steroid injections if things don't improve. I'm hoping that I can get it feeling better and not need them.
I hope everyone had a nice Easter!
Cheers,
CA
