Anyone have a run in with De Quervain’s Tendinosis

Figured that was my diagnosis and after 3 months finally went in to get it looked at.
Fucking rookies in the office. He goes to inject the wrist with a steroid. Didn’t catch the name I’ll see it on the bill I suppose. Wasn’t cortisone.
He goes to inject and the luer lock comes of and sprays everywhere . Second try went better.
Just trying to make it through summer and golfing. If it doesn’t get better after the shot I’ll probably get it knifed. So laying off the weights for a bit.
Anyone else have this joyous pain in their wrist and if so what did you find helped the most.

I did mention that I’ve never had that problem injecting steroids .

It’s pretty rare, but I’ve seen it with baseball players from years of gripping a bat. Short-term, you can do Cortizone, but physical therapy is usually the thing that will get you over it. Or the obvious answer is just rest but we’re bodybuilders. We don’t do that shit. We’re just being real. If those don’t work, then there’s always surgery.

Yeah he said working out wasn’t ideal. No shit. Maybe I’ll give it a week and see how the shot feels.

I did play college ball. So that adds up to your thoughts as well. And rest days are few and far between when I’m at work. On a boat with nothing else to do. No pain no gain.

Me too and I knew two guys back then who struggled with it constantly. Get better man!
