4. Repetitive movements on a daily basis
Are common causes of de Quervain tenosynovitis, especially in women who have to lift up a child or baby and put him or her in a car seat. Some women even carry around heavy car seats, which by itself is heavy. At times, women have to repeatedly pick a child or baby up and then put him or her down. This repeated wrist motion is a cause for de Quervain teonosynovitis.
Damage to the tendons in the wrists is going to happen. The same thing can happen to someone who has a hobby that they practice on a daily basis, such as golfing. With golfing, the hands and wrists are moved in a quick motion and it has to be done repeatedly. Some golfers may feel that if they wear wrist braces, it will prevent any pain. That’s not the case because it is still going to be there if the golfer continues to use the same wrist and hand motions.
