Ouch!
Have any of you moms experienced this? I started feeling this pain when Jonas was around 6 weeks old. I could barely pick him up and was finding unique ways to pick him up and hold him. My mom helped me realize what I have. Let me tell you, its painful!
deQuervain's Tendinitis
deQuervain's tendinitis is a condition brought on by irritation or swelling of the tendons found along the thumb side of the wrist. The irritation causes the compartment (lining) around the tendon to swell, changing the shape of the compartment; this makes it difficult for the tendons to move as they should. The swelling can cause pain and tenderness along the thumb side of the wrist, usually noticed when forming a fist, grasping or gripping things, or turning the wrist.
What causes deQuervain's Tendinitis?
The cause of deQuervain's tendinitis is an irritation of the tendons at the base of the thumb. For example, awkward hand positions required by a NEW MOTHER in caring for an infant is a common cause of this condition
I LOVE you Jonas and I would never trade you to ease my pain!

Mom just told me about your pain while she was here. I had no idea. I am sorry. :-( I hope the pain goes away soon. We'll be praying about that. Kris couldn't believe I wouldn't have known something about you like this. Ha ha Hey, I am ready for some more video of the little man!
