Tendonitis in Wrists

It's actually called tenosynovitis. I developed it in my left wrist (I'm left-handed) after I had my daughter. Carrying around a baby carrier made it pretty bad. I ended up going to physical therapy for about 6 months for it. I had a steel reinforced brace; similar to the ones that you find at CVS, etc, but those are just fabric and plastic. I would suggest going to your doctor and see about getting a referral for a physical therapist. I haven't had any problems since, and I have since had another child, who is now two.

I have had bad tendonitis for about that long too. It started when I was waiting tables and continued on when I got into massage therapy. The main thing that has helped me is giving it a rest for a few days...you have to be really conscious of it (we use our hands constantly!) as well as anti-inflammatories. You could get a prescription strength from your doctor or just take an over-the-counter like ibuprofen. You can take 800 mg for the first couple of days, then reduce the dosage from there. If you do this for about a week, you ought to see a lot of relief. Only thing is, with your type of work, it's likely to return, but may not be so frequent if you can do take the meds occasionally. You certainly don't want to take them everyday b/c they can be hard on your stomach. Hope this helps and you can get some other good advice. I have to be super careful b/c mine gets inflamed very easily. Good luck!

Tylnol Athristis and slleping in support braces have worked the best for me alot of people have the surgery it works for some does not for others I am to chicken to try that route.

I had a problem similar to this before. My doctor suggested a TIME RELEASE VITAMIN B COMPLEX tablet twice a day. I tried it and it worked wonderfully. I later found out that vitamin b complex is good for all sorts of things within the body, and neurological issues is just one family it helps.

It is not a cheap cure, but it sure is less painful than most of the ones a doctor will reccomend!

Works well, too.
