Dr. Jeffrey Wint answered

Specializes in Hand Surgery

Pain in the tendons: Near the radial pulse can be dequervains tenosynovitis and commonly pain with wrist deviation and thumb motion. Nsaids a soft splint that doesn't irritate sensory nerves, ice at times, and avoidance of extremes if motion may help. Injections are helpful and occasionally surgery.
