A mom with a 10 1/2 month old baby has been diagnosed with De Quervain's tenosynovitis. It began at 3 months postpartum with pain in her left hand and thumb, and has now progressed to intolerable pain that is being treated with a splint and cortisone injections. Three friends have told her that they had similar symptoms that disappeared when they weaned their babies (at 3 months, 5 months, and ?) Her doctor has told her that this disease is not hormone related, but in view of the anecdotal information provided by her friends, she is unsure. Does anyone have any experience with this?
