🌟 Let's talk De Quervain's Tendonitis! 🌟 🩺 **Diagnosis**: If you feel pain at the base of your thumb or wrist, your doc might do the Finkelstein test to check for tendon inflammation. 💡 **Symptoms**: Watch for pain, swelling, or tenderness in your wrist, especially when gripping or moving your thumb. It might feel like your thumb is protesting! ✨ **Treatment**: Rest is crucial! Ice the area, take anti-inflammatories, and consider wearing a splint. If it doesn’t get better, physical therapy could help. ❤️ **Care**: Pay attention to your body! Gentle stretches are beneficial, and try to avoid repetitive movements. You’re not alone! Feel free to reach out with questions or for support! 💪🤗
