ila injured?

tadik ptg ke TMC rehab center for physiotherapy session..
tak start pon lagik physionye..
aku just dipasangkan splint tuk membantu merehatkan tangan..
esok br akan bermula physiotherapyku..
ada 6 kali sesi yg perlu aku penuhi..
tadik masa the therapist pasang splint di tanganku, aku sempat membaca artikel mengenai sakitku ini..
rupe2nye ada banyak jenis dan nama sakit yg berkaitan ngan tendon di tangan n melibatkan jari ni..
salah satunya ialah deQervain's Tenditinitis..

DEQUERVAIN'S TENDINITIS
What is it?

DeQuervain's tendinitis is a condition brought on by irritation or swelling of the tendons found along the thumb side of the wrist. The irritation causes the compartment (lining) around the tendon to swell, changing the shape of the compartment. This makes it difficult for the tendons to move as they should. The swelling can cause pain and tenderness along the thumb side of the wrist, usually noticed when forming a fist, grasping or gripping things, or turning the wrist.
What causes it? The cause of DeQuervain's tendinitis is an irritation of the tendons at the base of the thumb. For example, awkward hand positions required by a new mother in caring for an infant is a common cause of this condition.
Signs and symptoms
Pain over the thumb side of the wrist is the main symptom. The pain may appear either gradually or suddenly. It is felt in the wrist and can travel up the forearm. The pain is usually worse with use of the hand and thumbs, especially when forcefully grasping things or twisting the wrist. Swelling over that thumb side of the wrist is noticed and may be accompanied by a fluid-filled cyst in this region. There may be an occasional "catching" or "snapping" when moving the thumb. Because of the pain and swelling, it may be difficult to move the thumb and wrist, such as in pinching. Irritation of the nerve lying on top of the tendon sheath may cause numbness on the back of the thumb and index finger.
Diagnosis
A Finkelstein test is generally performed. In this test, the patient makes a fist with the fingers over the thumb. The wrist is then bent in the direction of the little finger. This This test can be quite painful for the person with DeQuervain's tendinitis. Tenderness directly over the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist is the most common finding, however.
Treatment
The goal is to relieve the pain caused by the irritation and swelling. In some cases, your doctor may recommend resting the thumb and wrist by wearing a splint. Anti-inflammatory medication taken by mouth or injected into the tendon compartment may help reduce the swelling and relieve the pain. In some cases, simply not doing the activities that cause pain and swelling may allow the symptoms to go away on their own.
If symptoms are severe or do not improve, surgery may be recommended. The surgery is in the compartment (covering) to make more room for the irritated tendons. Normal use of the hand can usually be resumed when comfort and strength have returned. Your own surgeon can advise you on the best treatment for your situation.
