I have a really poorly thumb at the moment. I have something called De Quervain's Tendinitis. It is very painful and is preventing me from using my thumb that much. You don't realise how much you need it until it hurts! The way to cure it is to take anti-inflammatories and rest, the latter being a bit of a joke when yuou have a new baby. The physio told me I must rest as much as possible but I have so much to do that it isn't always practical. So, today she treated it with ultrasound, acupuncture (which really hurt today) and then she taped it up. I also have a wrist splint to wear. Oh the glamour!
