Thread Name: BS: deQuervain's tendonitis
Subject: RE: BS: deQuervain's tendonitis
It happened because my right arm was already compromised by the fall on the shoulder in Dec. I
went for some deep massage to make it feel better, and in the massage, the tendon in the forearm/wrist got
compressed. So... anyway, like the shoulder, I can't rest the hand as much as I should so
it feels as painful as it did three weeks ago when the massage triggered de Quervain.
I read the Mayo Clinic info and just need to keep the brace on as much as possible, I guess,
but I can't get around having to write with my right hand. I moved the computer mouse to
the left side, but can't write with my left hand. I am talking to a lawyer about injury claim
for the negligence of the hotel where I fell. That doesn't get my sales done each week
in order to keep from losing my job! I have to continue working.
