De Quervain syndrome

The joint pain has gone.

Like I have problems with de Quervain syndrome.

That's gone as well.

Okay.

I'll be honest.

I don't know what, I don't actually know what that syndrome is.

I mean, what? So de Quervain's is one

which happens in your wrist.

Your thumb and wrist absorb thousands of repetitive taps.

According to a study in 2025, uh, found smartphone unlocked frequently, or frequency, and screen time were both linked to clinical signs of a thumb tendon condition called De Quervain's, uh, tenosynovitis." I'm definitely not pronouncing that right.

[laughs]

But, uh, tendon condition in your thumb.

He got, like, it wasn't carpal tunnel.

Is it pink? What was it? Whose tendon? De Quervain? Whose tendon? Okay.

It's called the De Quervain's tendon.

That sounds like a tequila-based drink.

Like Jose Cuervo's tendon.

Okay, we got it.

But she's, she's saying it's De Quervains.

Don't know it.

I mean, I'm not gonna be saying this right 'cause it's a French word.

"Or mummy thumb." You did say that, didn't you?

Yeah.

"The medical name is De Quervains."

Okay, well, maybe they're right.
