Hi guys,
I have just been diagnosed with de Quervain’s in my right (dominant hand). I teach Pilates for a living and do loads of other exercise on my hands (burpies, pushups etc) so it makes sense that I would get this overuse injury….
I am wondering if anyone else has ever had it, and how long it took before you could do weight training again; if you had surgery; if it was successful etc etc.
Would just love anyone’s feedback or experience with it.
Thanks.

Hey. I have it in my right wrist. I cannot do a lot of push ups or downward dogs because my wrist hurts from the pressure. I am in physical therapy for it, so I am thinking another month and I'll be able to do more pushups and lifting without wanting to quit.
Hope your wrist is feeling better!0 -
Hey TheEmi, thanks for your reply. My wrist is much better now and i am doing weights again. Pushups are still not a good idea and burpies definately a no-no, but at least I can do most things again.
How is your wrist???0 -
Hi Deb,
How long did your de Quervain lasted for? I have recovered after about 6+ months but wary to get back into lifting weights. Does your weight training seem to affect you in any way negatively?
Thanks,0
