Does Pain Radiating From Wrist To Thumb Indicate Tendonitis?

pain in the lower right side of hand/palm right above wrist up to thumb. Hurts to move and do simple tasks. No known injury.. just regular daily routines at work. (health care work.. wheel chairs, assisting people with special needs.) Thinking maybe tendinitis? Very painful now.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello madam/sir, tendinitis is a broad term. Tendinitis can be acute, Chronic, infectious or immune mediated. U have not mentioned about duration, by your history it might be simple muscle or tendon pain in your words. Because of over usage. As u say pain is increasing while doing work, it might be sprain/tondon tear hopefully grade 1. Better u give rest for ur wrist. Take simple analgesics. This will solve the problem. Thank u..
