Wrist Tendonitis

Description

Wrist pain. It’s one of the most common symptoms of wrist tenosynovitis, also known as wrist tendonitis. Read more about why the pain originates⎯and how to treat it.

Causes & Triggers

  • Thickened wrist joint sheath
    • Creates higher friction environment for tendons
    • Constricts tendon movement
    • Inhibits tendon’s natural gliding movement

Signs & Symptoms

  • Inflammation
  • Irritation
  • Pain (with or without movement)

Tips & Treatment

  • While usually limited to one tendon, tendonitis can affect multiple tendons.
  • It occurs most often where tendon crosses tendon, or where tendon intersects a bony prominence.
