De Quervain’s syndrome also known as De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis, Thumb Wrist Pain, Mommy’s Thumb, and Mommy’s Wrist, is a condition that affects the tendons located on the thumb side of the wrist. The tendons become swollen and the synovium (a sheath that covers the tendons) becomes inflamed, causing wrist and thumb pain and discomfort. The condition is typically caused by repetitive hand or wrist movements. Symptoms of De Quervain’s syndrome include pain and swelling at the base of the thumb, difficulty gripping or pinching, and a catching or snapping sensation when moving the thumb.
