Brief Answer:
possibility of De Quervain's tenosynovitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have studied your case,
As per your history there is possibility of De Quervain's tenosynovitis.
Physiotherapy like USG and TENS will help in relieving symptoms.
Avoid twisting activity of wrist.
Till time continue your medication.
If not relieved local steroid injection will help, you can take that after consulting your treating doctor, and I think which you have already taken.
Last aspect remains surgical release as long term cure.
Another probability of carpal tunnel can be considered in which there is swelling over wrist .There is nerve compression near wrist which leads to pain on movement.
Due to repeated fall on wrist there can be injury to bone leading to arthritis in later stages.
X ray will help to confirm diagnosis.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
