Frequent bouts of knee arthritis flare-ups were so painful, I would cry walking a short distance.

  Hand Extensor - A Common Disease?  
 Common Causes of Extensor Tendon Hand Injuries
Extensor tendonitis is a type of tendonitis that affects the hand. Extensor Tendonitis, better known as deQuervain's Tendonitis, is a condition brought on by irritation or swelling of the tendons found along the thumb side of the wrist. 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. Awkward hand positions are often the cause of extensor tendonitis.

MSM is a natural supplement that you can take to treat tendonitis. MSM is an organic sulfur with anti-inflammatory properties that heals tissues at the cellular level. MSM is a safe and effective tendonitis remedy that quickly relieves pain without the side effects associated with NSAIDs and other medication remedy methods. 
 

 Get Soothing Relief for Extensor Tendonitis

People with extensor tendonitis typically complain of the gradual onset of pain in the wrist area when they use the thumb on the affected hand. The person with extensor tendonitis might experience difficulties with gripping and pinching, and in severe cases, the affected hand may be too painful to use. The pain may radiate into the thumb, or up into the forearm or shoulder. 
 
Symptoms of extensor tendonitis include:
_ Pain and tenderness along a tendon, usually in proximity to the thumb and/or wrist joints.
_ Pain is worse with movement or activity.
_ Pain at night.
_ Tenderness and swelling.
_ Pain when you try to bend the hand against resistance or grip objects.

Get Rid of Extensor Tendonitis Pain for Good

Treatment of extensor tendonitis:
The goal of extensor treatment is to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Often, rest, ice and home care pain relievers are all that's needed. The goals of extensor tendonitis treatment and extensor tendonitis rehabilitation include;
_ Protection of the injured tissues to allow healing and to control the early inflammatory phase.
_ Ice packs or ice massage.
_ Rehabilitate flexibility, strength, proprioception, and muscle imbalance, and control physical activities with the aid of taping and splinting.
_ Return to full activity as hand tendonitis symptoms allow.
 
The goal of rehabilitation should be designed to decrease the symptoms, strengthen the muscles of the affected area and increase flexibility. The person with extensor tendonitis must return to activity carefully and slowly. Criteria for resuming full physical activity should be based on function, not time.
 
Inflammation can also be treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as Motrin or Advil. These medications can be helpful treatments for extensor tendonitis but do have side effects. Side effects of these medications can include stomach upset and bleeding problems.
 
Your doctor might suggest treating your extensor tendonitis with steroid drug injections. Injections of cortisone reduce extensor tendonitis inflammation and can help ease pain. However, this extensor tendonitis treatment should be used with great care because repeated injections may weaken the tendon or cause undesirable side effects. Cortisone injections can also increase your risk of rupturing a tendon.
 
If you experience extensor tendonitis, you are more likely to have symptoms again down the road, but with an intelligent approach to your exercise or activity routine, this problem can often be avoided.
