deQuervain's tendinitis. Never heard of it? Neither did I until Fiona was a few months old and my wrist and hand started to hurt. I saw my primary care doc who suggested a brace
and ibuprofen. When it didn't improve I saw a specialist, Dr. Greg Watchmaker. I got a cortisone shot in April 2010 and had great results. It wasn't long before I forgot about it all together. When Euan was a few weeks old I began to remember. At first it was not a big deal, just a bit of soreness and pain. Last week it was getting decently uncomfortable so I made an appointment to see my friend again. By Tuesday morning it was incredibly painful, very weak and decently numb. There were bouts of pain that I swear made me see stars and then of course I puked. I got another cortisone shot Tuesday afternoon. I am still waiting for relief and hoping to see improvement soon. Surgery was discussed but I really don't have time for that.
