deQuervain's Tendonitis
deQuervain's Tendonitis is a condition brought on by irritation or swelling of the tendons found along the thumb side of the wrist (Figure 1).

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.
