De Quervain's disease is a painful inflammation of tendons in the thumb that extend to the wrist. The swollen tendons and their coverings rub against the narrow tunnel through which they pass. That causes pain at the base of the thumb and into the lower arm. Do you have this or maybe some you know has been diagnosed with this?
