Tendonitis of the hand,,, Please Help
I have been diagnosed with a case of tendonitis. The problem started about nine months ago, but I have been going to the doctor for 6 weeks. They put me in a splint, and are giving me naproxen (an anti-inflamatory). They are also giving me iontopheresis, where they use electrically charged ions to put medicine in the area. It seems nothing is working. I teach martial arts, so this is really effecting me!
I have pain in the big tendon that runs from my thumb up the side of my wrist. Also, if I push back -towards the elbow, on my first three fingers (where they meet the palm), I have pain deep in my wrist.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I would certainly appreciate them.
