de Quervain’s tenosynovitis
de Quervain’s tenosynovitis
Aug 06
The pain on the thumb side of my right wrist has been bugging me for more than a month, so last Monday, I finally went to see a doctor.
Diagnosis: de Quervain’s tenosynovitis
Treatment:
1. splint right thumb (photo above shows the splint that I’ll be sporting for 4-6 weeks. Ugh!)
2. undergo therapy 3 times a week
3. Cataflam, t.i.d.
If Kadayawan wasn’t nearing, I wouldn’t have gone to the doctor. I knew I’d be spending hoursss taking photos during the festival, and I just wanted to make sure that I had no serious problem with my wrist.
At least it’s just de Quervain’s. The thumb splint will definitely help relax my thumb, but it will definitely get in the way of shooting in Manual mode. Pffft. 
hi! i just wanted to ask, where did you get those thumb splints.
Hi there, I got this from a medical supplies shop near Davao Medical Center.
“P” is your best friend.
I rarely get to go full manual, everything happens to fast.
Lately, I only take photos of blogging events. So it’s just P for me. Also, I can’t play much with my camera. Adjusting the settings and holding the camera at the same time causes intense pain. Boo hoo!
hi, may I know the clinic you went to for treatment?
Hi Billy,
I went to see Dr. Aportadera at the East Asian Orthopedic and Rehabilitiation Institute.
EAORI is at Quirino Avenue, behind Davao Doctors Hospital.
btw! i love the color of the nails.. ehehhe…
Hahahah! Para match sa color sa watch, Faust! :p
